The Saskatchewan Bulletin, Nov. 1, 1968, p. 1; "Lack of school facilities for the community's 325 students has forced La Loche teachers to hold classes in the basement of the old school, in the Roman Catholic mission hall, and to convert the main school staff room into a kindergarten area. Above is the basement furnace room, where glaring bare light bulbs, a cold and damp cement floor, and the noise of activity overhead provides the backdrop for learning for Mrs. Ward Tweet's 29 Grade 2 students."
The Saskatchewan Bulletin, Nov. 1, 1968, p. 4; "Only a thin curtain separates this old, wood-burning furnace and the rubble surrounding it from a class of youngsters in the basement of an ancient school house in La Loche. A fire-trap now, the furnace might have to be used to assist in heating the school once winter comes, making the problem even more serious unless other classroom facilities are provided for the children..."
The Saskatchewan Bulletin, Nov. 1, 1968, p. 4; "'This is the way we wash our hands'? Mrs. Ward Tweet, wife of the principal at La Loche, leads her Grade two students in a sing song. The portable electric organ is one the Tweet's purchased themselves, and use at the school..."

Worse still, the main water supply for the school is situated only 30 feet from another outdoor toilet on the other side of the school."
The Saskatchewan Bulletin, Nov. 1, 1968, p. 5; "The stage of the Roman Catholic mission hall is the classroom for a special group of slow learners at La Loche. Their teacher, Miss Elaine Piche, graduated from Grade twelve at Meadow Lake last spring and has had no teacher education. Another class is held at the back of the same hall."
The Saskatchewan Bulletin, Nov. 1, 1968, p. 5; "Many of the bright-eyed faces of young students in the North are marred by running sores and staph infection. Pictured above are two young Turnor Lake students."
The Saskatchewan Bulletin, Nov. 1, 1968, p. 5; "The library at Turnor Lake is in one of the DNR house-classrooms in a small closet that also serves as a storage room. The three teachers there have spent a great deal of time cataloguing, sorting and shelving the books, most of which have been donated to the school. Unfortunately, according to the teachers, although the books in their library are good, most are adult books and are of little value to the younger students."
The Saskatchewan Bulletin, Nov. 1, 1968, p. 5; "These two DNR houses are being used as classrooms until the two portables at La Loche can be brought to Turnor Lake. Although the one portable classroom now at Turnor Lake (pictured between the two houses) has indoor plumbing facilities, students in the other two classrooms have no such facilities."
The Saskatchewan Bulletin, Nov. 1, 1968, p. 5; "At Ile á la Crosse the seven classroom addition promised for school opening, will not be ready for occupancy until after Christmas. Overcrowded conditions, such as those prevailing at La Loche, are not a problem for this comity, but teachers are anxious to have the industrial arts and home economics facilities completed so they can begin the courses."
