Historic Sites of Manitoba: Ardal School No. 1292 (Arborg)
Link to: The Ardal School District was organized formally in June 1904 although classes had begun informally 1903 in the first community hall located one mile west of Arborg (at the time part of the Rural Municipality of Bifrost) on River Lot 14. In 1905, a school was built in Arborg, just east of the railway tracks. It was replaced in 1912 by a new two-classroom structure located just east of David Avenue. A four-room school building was destroyed by fire on 16 January 1950. Before a seven-room replacement was constructed later that year, classes were held in the Arborg Community Hall and the Federated Church. The Arborg Collegiate opened in 1961, with additional classroom space used in the Arborg Town Hall. In 1966, the school district became part of the Arborg Consolidated School District No. 2441.
