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.

At Henry Kelsey we encourage students to develop their inquiry, design, and communication skills through the use of information technology. Students use classroom computers, computer lab, language lab and interactive whiteboards to support their learning. Our school webmasters work hard to keep the school website and their homeroom websites up to date and accesible.
