The Saskatchewan Bulletin, Nov. 1, 1968, p. 1; "Lack of school facilities for the community's 325 students has forced La Loche teachers to hold classes in the basement of the old school, in the Roman Catholic mission hall, and to convert the main school staff room into a kindergarten area. Above is the basement furnace room, where glaring bare light bulbs, a cold and damp cement floor, and the noise of activity overhead provides the backdrop for learning for Mrs. Ward Tweet's 29 Grade 2 students."
