Estuary, Saskatchewan
1917-1956




I recently visited the site of my old one room school in southern Saskatchewan. I was pleased to find a marker at the site of the old school, however, I was disappointed to fine the spelling of the name is wrong. Please see the attached photograph. The correct spelling is "CAITHNESS".

Spelling as "Caithness" and not "Caichness" is confirmed by the following sources: 63 65 107
