SURPRISE VALLEY School District # 76


The number 76 was assigned to MEDICINE HAT School District # 76 near Medicine [sic] [Medicine Hat] by the north west territorial Department of Education according to a listing compiled at the Provincial Saskatchewan Archives Regina Branch, and in 1905 the school district numbers were re-assigned. According to the Department of Education Re-assigns Number "When Saskatchewan and Alberta became provinces in 1905, numbers previously in use in Alberta were cancelled and re-applied to School Districts of Saskatchewan.

When the two provinces were formed Alberta continued numerically incrementing from the last school District Number which was at that time Bow Valley S. D. 1409. The next one of Alberta therefore numbered was 1410. Saskatchewan then re-used any numbers which were now not being used and therefore some School Districts may have two names attached to them...the early use of the number in Alberta, and later use in Saskatchewan. "

In this way, then the number 76 was then given to SURPRISE VALLEY School District # 76 Sec Tsp 6, 7 Rge 25,26 W of the 2 Meridian according to Library and Archives Canada (LAC) Exploration and Settlement > Western Land Grants (1870-1930), the Department of Education Re-assigns Number and the handwritten listing by the Department of Education. The notes of both townships 6 and 7 as well as ranges 25 and 26 refer to the school district region as shown on the map above and not the schoolhouse location.
