The Jack River Hostel was located on the Jack River, near Norway House. The hostel operated from July 1, 1960 - June 30, 1967 (7 years). The hostel was a student residence only. Before operating on its own, Jack River was an annex of the Cross Lake IRS from 1930 - 1960. Other names identifying the hostel include Notre Dame Hostel (1960 - 1967), Jack River Hostel (1960 - 1967), and Jack River (Indian) Residential School/Hostel (1962; 1965). The Government of Canada was responsible for funding the school, which was managed and operated by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, via the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of Keewatin or Vicar Apostolic of Keewatin. The documents indicate that students attended the Jack River Roman Catholic Indian Day School in Norway House for primary (1, 2, 3), elementary (4, 5, 6), and junior high (7, 8).
