Time capsule to be opened Deh Gah School to examine items planted 20 years ago Miranda Scotland Northern News Services Published Thursday, Oct 25, 2012
This weekend, the time capsule is coming out of the wall and many of those same people will be gathering again to see what they put in. "I think it's just going to be a really exciting event for everybody to see what was in there and just remember 20 years ago when we were all there," said Jane Arychuk, who was principal of the school when the time capsule was created. It was an exciting time, she said, adding the school had just been renovated and the name changed to Deh Gah School from Elizabeth Ward School. People have already started wracking their brains to remember what they added to the bin, she said. Arychuk herself put in letters that she wrote to her daughters who were two and three years old at the time. Meanwhile, one teacher thinks she may have written letters to all the kids in her class, Arychuk said. "You think you would remember, but it's not so easy," she said. "There is a rumour that somebody put a ring in for their daughter. We were learning about how to weave fishnets and students put their fishnets in so they would get them 20 years later ... somebody put a phone book in, somebody put a Sears catalogue in so that there would be a record of who lived in Fort Providence at that time and what prices were at that time." The capsule will be opened Oct. 27 at 1 p.m. in the school.
