      History

      The McDougall Orphanage was located in the Morleyville Settlement, on the north side of the Bow River, just east of the Stoney First Nation Reserve and approximately 64 kilometres west of Calgary, Alberta and the Morley Residential School was located on the Stoney First Nation Reserve on the south side of the Bow River, near Morley. The McDougall Orphanage and Training School was an orphanage and day school operated by the Woman's Missionary Society of The Methodist Church of Canada with funding from the Department of Indian Affairs from 1883-1908, with school buildings on the north and south sides of the Bow River. The school briefly reopened in 1909, and closed again in 1910. In 1922 a temporary semi-residential school was set up by The Methodist Church, with government support until funds could be found for a permanent school. In 1926, the Morley Residential School, with a new residence was opened and operated by The United Church of Canada until its closure in 1969.
