Administrative history
Foam Lake was formed as a United Church charge in 1925, part of Yorkton Presbytery and consisting of preaching points at Foam Lake, Ashdown, Kelvin Grove, Malby, and Lakeview. Tuffnell was added, ca.1926. By 1932, only Kelvingrove, Lake Side, Tuffnell and Foam Lake remained. As of 1951, the charge was made up of Foam Lake, Bertdale, Mt. Hecla, Tuffnell, and Kelvin Grove. By 1962, Foam Lake Pastoral Charge contained only Foam Lake and Leslie, and it was eventually renamed Foam Lake - Leslie Pastoral Charge. The point at Leslie closed June 30, 2006.
Custodial history
Original provenance for many of the records in the fonds is unclear. Initial items were transferred to the archives between 1925 and 1986, with further batches added around 2009, 2018 and 2019.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of textual materials generated by Foam Lake – Leslie Pastoral Charge and predecessors, including Foam Lake Pastoral Charge and Leslie Pastoral Charge, as well as their constituent congregations – church boards, committees and related bodies, local women’s units and other groups.
Contents include: minutes of official boards, Stewards, Session, congregational, and committee meetings; records of local Ladies Aid Society, Women’s Missionary Society (W.M.S.), Woman’s Associations (W.A.), and United Church Women (UC.W.) groups; some financial records and annual reports; communion and historic rolls; and registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials held at Foam Lake, Leslie, Kelvin Grove, Mt. Hecla, Tuffnell, Bertdale, Elfros, and related locations.

Arrangement
Original order for many of these records is unclear. Items under XV.A were arranged and listed as local church records sometime before 1990 and accruals (under XV.SC and XV.SR) were added around 2009, 2018 and 2022. The fonds was created in 2023, to include records previously listed and any new accruals.
