History

The community had a two-storey steeple church erected 1906-1910, but it was destroyed in a fire in 1930. A second church with a single steeple was reconstructed using the first's stone walls—as it was salvageable—and reconstruction began. At one time, Pine Creek First Nation had a residential school on their Reserve, built 1894-1897. The large 4-story school building was destroyed in 1972.
