School History:

Henry Kelsey (1667-1724) was an English-born Canadian explorer and overseas governor of the Hudson's Bay Company. He was sent into the barren lands west of Hudson Bay to look for customers among the northern tribes. He was the first European known to visit the interior of western Canada and to winter on the prairies.

Prepare Today - Succeed Tomorrow!

Henry Kelsey Senior Public School was named in memory of a young employee of the Hudson's Bay Company who was sent into the barren lands west of Hudson Bay to look for customers among the northern tribes. He was the first European known to have seen the prairies, the great buffalo herds, the grizzly bears, and the many Plains tribes. In later years, he became the governor of all the Company's posts on Hudson Bay.

Henry Kelsey Senior Public School was opened in 1971. We welcome a diverse population of students drawn from seven feeder schools.
