Let’s do a throwback and head back to the early 1900s to visit the Boundary Bay School.

The Boundary Bay School District was created in 1886 and a school house built shortly afterward.

The above Delta Archives photo shows the school which was located on Boundary Bay Road (12th Avenue) near Beach Grove Road.

It operated from 1886 to 1907, with some temporary closures in 1889 and the 1890s.

A second Boundary Bay School was built in 1907 on Boundary Bay Road (56th Street) at 16th Avenue.

The Boundary Bay School District was amalgamated with other rural school districts in Delta to form the Delta School District in 1906.
