This series consists of records related to The Sisters of St. Ann's work at Lower Post Residential School.

Lower Post Indian Residential School was opened in 1951 on Daylu Dena territory to provide Catholic education to Indigenous children from Northern British Columbia and the Yukon. Prior to the opening of Lower Post, many children had been sent to Lejac IRS in Fraser Lake or Grouard IRS in Alberta. Following changes to federal legislation, in 1968 the institution’s name and mandate changed from Lower Post Indian Residential School to Lower Post Residence, with some students living at the residence and attending school elsewhere.

Among the first contingent of Sisters of St. Ann who arrived at Lower Post Indian Residential School was a Registered Nurse. The Sister Nurse, besides taking care of the First Nations at the school and in the Village, was also on call for the residents of Watson Lake and the Air Force Base. This outreach service merited a grant of $100.00 per month from the Department of Health and Welfare for the Sister Nurse’s salary.

For the fall of 1970, the Provincial Superior of the Sisters of St. Ann assigned only four Sisters at Lower Post Student Indian Residence for the following school term. The Provincial Superior then announced in February 1971 that the Sisters would be withdrawing altogether. The Sisters of St. Ann withdrew from the school June 1971. The Residence remained open, operated by the federal government, until 1975.
