Happy #throwbackthursday 💧 Flooded 101 St and 102 Ave

During the 1935 Pat’s Creek Flood, many parts of the Town of Peace River were underwater including the pictured intersection of 101 Street and 102 Avenue, just north of the Heart River bridge!

These upgrades are intended to increase awareness & commemorate the history & legacy of residential schools, as well as honour residential school survivors, their families, & communities by providing an opportunity for land-based learning for locals & visitors alike. #PeaceRiver

Ten interpretive panels will be installed at the site located near the Peace River Correctional Centre. Significant landscaping will be done to mark the footprints of three former structures on the site, including the Priests’ Residence, the Convent/School, and the Laundry House.

Once the site of a residential school, St. Augustine Mission, also known as Smoky Forks and Forks Mission, will receive some upgrades to historical signage and landscaping thanks to a federal grant.
