St. Mary's News Release - 2005-07-28
On June 30, 2005 an Order in Council (OIC) to add approximately 25.4 acres of land located
in Mission, B.C. to reserve was granted. The land was the site of the last
Residential School in British Columbia. The St. Mary's Residential School closed in
1984 and the land was leased to the Coqualeetza Training Centre on behalf of the Sto:lo
People for a period of five years with the intentions of adding it to reserve shortly after. In
2001 the Sto:lo Nation, the Sto:lo People and the Department of Indian & Northern
Affairs worked rapidly in completing all of the requirements set out in the terms of
reference for the reserve creation and were able to achieve reserve status for the land with
21 Sto:lo First Nations/Bands now holding the official title.
"Her Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the
Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, hereby sets apart the lands
described in the annexed schedule, for the joint use and benefit of Aitchelitz, Chawathil,
Cheam, Chehalis, Kwantlen First Nation, Kwaw-Kwaw-Apilt, Leq'a:mel (la camel) First
Nation, Matsqui, Popkum, Scowlitz, Seabird Island, Shxw'ow'hamel First Nation,
Skawahlook First Nation, Skowkale, Skwah, Shxwhá:y (shhh why) Village, Soowahlie,
Squiala First Nation, Sumas First Nation, Tzeachten and Yakweakwioose, bands within
the meaning of the Indian Act, as Pekw'xe:yles (peckquaylis) Indian Reserve, in the
Province of British Columbia." (Source the Privy Council Office Website.)
