Historic Sites of Manitoba: Barras School No. 1947 (RM of Ste. Anne)

Known as the Rivard School District when it was organized formally in January 1919, its name was changed to Barras sometime before 1944. A one-room schoolhouse operated at NW32-8-8E in the Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne. The district was dissolved in 1967 and its area became part of the Seine River School Division.
