school was opened in earnest and enrollment increased to 15 students. The government provided funding of $600 per year for the industrial educational of the Wawanosh students. The Wawanosh Home was administered by the Anglican Church and overseen by Shingwauk Home principal Rev. E.F. Wilson. By the mid-1880s Wilson decided that the Wawanosh Home could be more effectively managed if the girls were located on the same site as the Shingwauk Home. As a result, a girls wing was added onto the Shingwauk Home on Queen Street. In 1900 the Wawanosh Home officially relocated to the Shingwauk site. The old Wawanosh Home was purchased by the Children's Aid Society of Algoma. The building was operated as a shelter from 1912 to 1955. Now the site is home to the Sault Ste.

The Shingwauk School was closed by the Department of Indian Affairs in June 1970. Algoma University College moved onto the Shingwauk site in 1971 and the Shingwauk Hall building is presently the main building of Algoma University. Until April 1, 1969, all iterations of the Shingwauk Residential School were operated by the Missionary Society of the Church of England. From April 1 to the closure of the Shingwauk School on June 30, 1970, the Government of Canada took over the administration of the church.
