Kootenay Indian Residential School
The Kootenay Indian Residential School (composed of the St. Eugene's and St. Mary's schools), in Cranbrook, British Columbia, run by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate of the Roman Catholic Church, was opened in 1912, operated at the 1897-built St. Eugene Church, and closed in 1970. Between 1912 and 1970, over 5,000 children attended the school. Through an Indigenous-led restoration project, it was converted to St. Eugene's Golf Resort and Casino.[1], [2]
