CNHP Mademoiselle Onésime Dorval, (1845-1932)
Pédagogue remarquable, Mademoiselle Dorval fut la première institrice diplômée de la Saskatchewan. Originaire du Québec, elle s'etablit dans l'Ouest en 1877, devint membre de l'Ordre de Saint-Francois et consacra le fruit de son travail aux missions des Oblats. Elle enseigna pendant plus de quarante ans à Battleford, à Batoche et à Duck Lake en Saskatchewan. Ses peintures et son travail sur bois sont pleins d'originalité et s'avèrent un riche patrimoine. C'est avec beaucoup d'affection que les communautés métisse et francophone évoquent son souvenir.
Mademoiselle Dorval, Saskatchewan's first certified teacher, was an esteemed educator. Born and raised in Quebec, she came west in 1877 and dedicated her life's work to the Oblate missions as a member of the Order of St, Francis. She taught for over forty years at Baie St. Paul in Manitoba and in Saskatchewan at St-Laurent-Grandin, Battleford, Batoche and Duck Lake. A talented painter and innovative woodworker, she left a rich legacy of artwork. She is affectionately remembered in the Métis and Francophone communities on the prairies.
