Portage La Prairie Residential School was first located one quarter mile east of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, but in 1915 the school moved to the shores of Crescent Lake, just southwest of the city. It was funded by the Government of Canada, and operated by the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of The Presbyterian Church in Canada from 1888-1925, and by the Woman's Missionary Society of The United Church of Canada from 1925-1960. At various times it also operated as a day school, and from 1961-1975 it was operated as a student residence by The United Church of Canada.
