Fur Training School 1951-52

After a few years spent apprenticing in the North, HBCo fur trade employees were sent to the Fur Training School. The School opened in the late 1940s to provide instruction in all aspects of fur buying such as grading, pricing, and more. Graduates went on to store management in the North or to work in the Raw Fur Department or Fur Sales Division. Mike was selected for training while we were in Cumberland House in 1951 and we spent the winter of 1951-52 in Montreal before he was assigned to manage the post at Fort Wrigley
