the land or the land itself would be transferred back to the Diocese at the conclusion of use by the Government. School chapel The Bishop Fauquier Memorial Chapel is the only remaining building from the early years of the Shingwauk School. Construction of the chapel began in 1881 and was completed in 1883. It was constructed under the guidance of Edward Francis Wilson, who also designed the building. The building is a mixture of Gothic and Tudor architectural styles and was constructed using sandstone found locally in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. It was consecrated by Anglican Diocese of Algoma Bishop Edward Sullivan on August 29, 1883. The chapel is named after Bishop Frederick Dawson Fauquier, the first Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Algoma. During the operation of the Shingwauk Indian Residential School students and staff attended weekly services at the chapel and the building was also used for weddings, funerals, and special occasions. In 1981 the chapel was designated as a heritage site under the Ontario Heritage Act by the City of Sault Ste. Marie. School cemetery and student death The Shingwauk Memorial Cemetery contains the graves of over 120 students and staff of the Shingwauk Indian Residential School. It is located in a wood lot northeast of Shingwauk Hall next to Snowdon Park. Many of these graves are unmarked. During the residential school era staff and church officials received stone headstones but the majority of the students' graves were marked with wooden crosses. As a result of vandalism and the deterioration of wood none of these wooden crosses are left. The land for the cemetery was donated to the Shingwauk School by William Stratton, the owner of the adjacent farm to the Shingwauk School. The cemetery was consecrated by Bishop Frederick Dawson Fauquier on June 2, 1876. The stone wall which surrounds the older original portion of the cemetery was constructed by the students of the Shingwauk School. In 1988 the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association and other concerned survivors of the Shingwauk school erected a monument in memory of all who are buried in the cemetery. A list of known individuals buried was created to accompany this monument, copies are held in the Bishop Fauquier Memorial Chapel and the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre at Algoma University. In 2021, the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre created an updated burial register with additional names of those buried in the cemetery.
