Bishop Fauquier Memorial Chapel and Cemetery

The Bishop Fauquier Memorial Chapel is the only remaining building from the original Shingwauk Indian Residential School, built in 1883 by staff and students. Today, it hosts educational tours that delve into the complex history between the Anglican Church and Canada’s Indigenous peoples. Visitors are invited to experience the chapel's distinctive architecture and updated stained-glass windows.
