Soon after arriving, settlers banded together to open the first Calling Lake school in 1922. Now part of the Northlands School Division, the school offers K-12 education. Adult education has taken various forms in Calling Lake over time. Those efforts include a job corps that ran in the 1970s.
By a Lake of Sparkling Blue, a history of Calling Lake School written by Dora Shwaga and published in 1997, offers many a walk down memory lane for those whose families attended the school in earlier years.
Another valuable resource is the school’s yearbook, Evergreen. Especially the 1966-1967 edition, which includes a significant focus on Calling Lake history.
Land Acknowledgement
Recognizing that we are all equally responsible to know our shared history and journey forward in good faith, we acknowledge with respect that Calling Lake stands on land, and alongside water, where Indigenous peoples have gathered, hunted, fished and held ceremonies from time immemorial.
