“Wisdom, Integrity, Skill”

The school motto for Kirkland Lake Collegiate and Vocational Institute, and embraced by its students.

This photo is of KLCVI from the 1960s, when the building was at its largest size with a population of over 1,500 students and faculty. The high school was the only one of its kind in the region, with some students driven by bus to the school from villages and towns over 50kms away.
