History
Canor (Canadian-Norwegian) School District was located east of LaGlace and north west of Sexsmith. It was organized c. 1920, and school taught for a few months in a vacant house. From 1920-1928 the students attended Chatham until a school was built in the Canor District. They traveled to Chatham in a school van, a covered sleigh. In 1928, the school was constructed by Ed Loven and Powell. Teachers included Miss B. Hallet (Mrs. J.C. Lawrence), Miss Benson, Miss Comfort, Daisy Albers, Miss Willis, Miss E. Cochrane, Miss M. Poppin, Mr. T.E. Shannon, Miss Pow, Harriet Wallace, Miss O. Prevost, Miss L. Burton, Phyllis Clarke, Mrs. Tinchuk, Mary Sereda, Miss R. Roberts, Miss D. Longson, Ethel Hoflin, and Irene Samuelson. Canor School operated until 1949, when the one-room schools in the area were consolidated to Sexsmith and LaGlace.
