History
The Elizabeth Long Memorial Home was located in Kitamaat Village, a reserve of the Haisla Nation, located near the head of Douglas Channel in northern British Columbia, some 120 kilometres southeast of Prince Rupert. From 1894-1898 an informal boarding school was operated on the site by missionaries of The Methodist Church of Canada. In 1899 the Woman's Missionary Society took the home over, and operated a Girls’ Home until 1908, followed by the Elizabeth Long Memorial Home until 1925. In 1925 operations were transferred to the Board of Home Missions of The United Church of Canada until its closure in 1941.
