Historic Sites of Manitoba: Broad Valley School No. 1823 (RM of Dufferin)
The Broad Valley School District was established formally in February 1916. A wood frame, one-classroom building was constructed at SE29-7-3W in the Municipality of Dufferin and it operated until 1968. The former school building stood at the site until at least October 2000, but was demolished a few years later and replaced by a private residence.
Among the teachers who worked at Broad Valley School through the years was J. Fred Woods.
