  • The Making of Sir John Franklin High School, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, 1958–1967
    40 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation SPECIAL ISSUE / NUMÉRO SPÉCIAL Education North of 60 / Éducation au nord du 60e “An Exceedingly Complex Institution”1: The Making of Sir John Franklin High School, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, 1958–1967 W.P.J. Millar ABSTRACT “A difficult school”; “one of the brightest jewels in the…[government’s] crown”; “an exceed- ingly complex institution.” These descriptions of Sir John Franklin high school by some of its first teachers encapsulate the ambivalent early history of the school. This article traces its devel- opment in its first few years, beginning with its inception as an ambitious gleam in the federal government’s eye, and exploring its initial formidable challenges as a vocational and academic high school in the later 1950s and early 1960s for students not only in Yellowknife but coming from throughout the Northwest Territories. Not the least challenge was the provision of an education that would integrate students raised in several different cultures, but there were other difficulties as well. Sir John was not an ordinary high school. In many ways it was a unique in- stitution in the history of Canadian education, based in theory on a southern Canadian model but by necessity incorporating a distinctively northern Canadian reality, and as such, providing a new perspective on the history of Canadian secondary education. RÉSUMÉ « Une école difficile »; « un des plus brillants joyaux de la Couronne »; « une institution excessivement complexe ». Ces descriptions à propos de l’école secondaire John Franklin par quelques-uns de ses premiers enseignants décrivent l’histoire ambivalente des débuts de cette institution.

    ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Implementation Plan for the Action Plan for Boreal Woodland Caribou in the Northwest Territories: 2010-2015 The Action Plan for Boreal Woodland Caribou Conservation in the Northwest Territories was released after consulting with Management Authorities, Aboriginal organizations, communities, and interested stakeholders. This Implementation Plan is the next step of the Action Plan and will be used by Environment and Natural Resources to implement the actions in cooperation with the Tᰯch Government, Wildlife Management Boards and other stakeholders. In the future, annual status reports will be provided detailing the progress of the actions undertaken and implemented by Environment and Natural Resources. Implementation of these 21 actions will contribute to the national recovery effort for boreal woodland caribou under the federal Species at Risk Act . Implementation of certain actions will be coordinated with Alberta as part of our mutual obligations outlined in the signed Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation on Managing Shared Boreal Populations of Woodland Caribou. This MOU acknowledges boreal caribou are a species at risk that are shared across jurisdictional lines and require co-operative management. J.

This was Franklin’s second overland expedition and his last visit to the Arctic until his infamous lost expedition of 1845. This was the first map to show this area is any significant detail. It was published by John Murray, who specialized in voyage narratives and accounts, especially those of the Royal Navy’s Arctic expeditions. The map extends from Wollaston Land and Dolphin and Union Strait in the east to just beyond Camden Bay in the west. It tracks the route of the Mackenzie River from Great Bear Lake to the Arctic Sea. The map is full of rich detail about ice flows, mountains, and shorelines. The survey information that underlies this map was the result of the work of many of the crew members who traveled with Franklin, most notably Dr. John Richardson, Lieutenant George Back, and Edward Nicholas Kendall.
