Historic Sites of Manitoba: Bertram School No. 2097 (Municipality of Lorne)
The Bertram School District was established in July 1922 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NW11-5-10W in what is now the Municipality of Lorne. In 1959, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Richard Consolidated School District and later the Mountain School Division.
Among the teachers who worked at Bertram School through the years was Wilma Miller Farness (1950).
