*Who-is-it? Wednesday*
The description we have for this photo is simply "Three young children". Based on their apparent age differences, similar hair and familiarity with each other we believe they are sisters. We also don't recognize the architectural elements of the house on whose step they sit. There are distinct decorative elements on the veranda posts - but they don't seem to match buildings within our records. If you have any leads on either of these unknowns - please comment below!

-Boulangers garage-
Where Hydway Liqour, the Laundromat and car wash stand today used to be "Boulangers Garage". Started in the late 50's, the Boulangers operated it for a few years before Les and Alice Horseman purchased it in the 1960's to operate as a cafe. They then sold it to Denni Olson. After that it became R+R Garage operated by Lanctot's until it burned down.

*Who-is-it? Wednesday*
This photo appears to be a family portrait including mother and father (5+6) along with their 10 children including apparent twins (8+9) and the family pets - who look a bit more like coyotes than dogs. Closer inspection shows snowshoes and a trap hanging on the back wall alongside what looks like an antler mount labelled with distinct E.G initials and a box resting atop it. We do not have a date for the photo nor know the family. If you are able to help us identify them - please comment below!

*Who-is-it? Wednesday*
This group of youngsters are posed on the steps of either the convent or boys residence of the St Henri residential School. Looking closely one can see that nearly all the youth are wearing some version of a ribbon, which tells us this is taken at a ceremony - potentially confirmation. This would also explain the apparent age range of the youth. If you recognize anyone - or have insights regarding the ribbons worn - please comment below!
