History

The origins of the parish go back to 1882 when Father Joachim Allard, an Oblate missionary from Fort Alexander invited family from Chateauguay Quebec to come  and establish  a French-Canadian parish on the Winnipeg River in 1882.   It was not until 1903, after the construction of a chapel, that St. Georges officially became  the Saint-Georges de Châteauguay  parish. In 1909, St. Georges built  its first church but  unfortunately it was  destroyed by fire on May 1st, 1929. A second church (still standing) was built on the same spot and opened its doors in the month of December of that same year.

On the occasion of its centenary in 2003, a historical monument was erected near the church to commemorate the work that was accomplished by the founding members of the parish.

École Saint-Georges de Chateauguay first opened in 1903 in a chapel and quickly became part of the small colony’s life. In 1950, it moved to a new site to avoid flooding from the Pine Falls Dam.

It now serves 80–120 students from daycare to Grade 12 in multi-level classrooms that foster autonomy and teamwork. A long-awaited gym was added in 2013, enhancing programming for all ages. The school is known for strong language instruction and a safe, welcoming environment.

Strong Swimmers Survive

Strong Swimmers Survive (SSS) is a nonprofit organization established in 2022 by volunteers to address the urgent need for swimming lessons and water safety education in the Winnipeg River area. The closure of the local pool created a significant risk for our rural community, which is situated near numerous rivers, lakes, and dams. SSS mitigates this risk by providing accessible, affordable swimming instruction, promoting drowning prevention strategies, and collaborating with schools and community groups to elevate public water safety awareness. Our mission is to ensure every individual, regardless of background or ability, has the opportunity to become a confident and capable swimmer.
