Question Number 58
We are having difficulty finding information on Dr. Swift High School, Lac La Biche, AB which burned down in approx. 1961. Would especially like a photo and a biography on "Dr. Swift".Can you help?
File GR1984.0037/2412 consists of Department of Education records concerning Lac La Biche SD #3305.
These include correspondence and administrative records. There is no mention of the the school burning down, but there is correspondence about a new school opening in 1962.
You are welcome to visit the Provincial Archives in person to review these records; there is no charge to use the facilities.
There is a small, community archives based at Portage College, but I do not have contact information for it.
William Herbert Swift was the Deputy Minister of the Department of Education, 1946-1966. No further biographical information is available.
The Provincial Archives holds a single portrait photograph of Dr. Swift: PA653.
