In 1877, the Church Missionary Society persuaded Rev. James Hall to
relocate his Anglican mission at Fort Rupert, BC to nearby Alert Bay.
The following year, Rev. Hall built a mission house where day schooling
was first provided for native children, mostly drawn from the local
reserve—ancestors of today’s Nimpkish Band. It would soon be expanded
into a full residential school.
