Lejac Residential School was a Canadian residential school in British Columbia that operated from 1922 to 1976 by the Roman Catholic Church under contract with the Government of Canada. Construction of the school was completed on 17 January 1922, succeeding the school that opened in 1917 in Fort Saint James. Lejac Residential School was located in an otherwise undeveloped area on the shore of the just east of Fraser Lake, just off the railway line. This location was about 10 km (6.2 mi) from the First Nation village of Stellako at the west end of the lake (within Stellat'en First Nation territory) and the village of Nadleh at the east end of the lake (within Nadleh Whut'en First Nation territory). Although there were a few lay employees, most of the staff belonged to the Catholic Church,

  • Lejac Residential School was a Canadian residential school in British Columbia that operated from 1922 to 1976 by the Roman Catholic Church under contract with the Government of Canada. Construction of the school was completed on 17 January 1922, succeeding the school that opened in 1917 in Fort Saint James. Lejac Residential School was located in an otherwise undeveloped area on the shore of the just east of Fraser Lake, just off the railway line. This location was about 10 km (6.2 mi) from the First Nation village of Stellako at the west end of the lake (within Stellat'en First Nation territory) and the village of Nadleh at the east end of the lake (within Nadleh Whut'en First Nation territory). Although there were a few lay employees, most of the staff belonged to the Catholic Church, the men to the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, the women Sisters of the Child Jesus. The school was named after Father , an Oblate missionary who co-founded the mission at Fort Saint James in 1873. Due to its location at the centre of Carrier country, the majority of students were Carrier; however, Lejac also enrolled substantial numbers of students from neighbouring tribes, including the Sekani and Gitksan. As with most other residential schools, former students have charged that they were physically and sexually abused. In 2003, the RCMP charged a former dormitory supervisor with 10 counts of indecent assault, three of gross indecency, two of buggery, and six counts of common assault, for incidents that allegedly took place at the Lejac School and at the near Williams Lake, BC, between 1965 and 1973. After the school closed in 1976 the land was transferred to the Nadleh Indian Band and the school buildings razed. What remains at the site are the cemetery and a memorial, the site of an annual pilgrimage in honor of Rose Prince, a Carrier girl who remained to live and work at the school whom some consider a candidate for sainthood.
