Historic Sites of Manitoba: Drifting River School No. 915 (Municipality of Gilbert Plains)The Drifting River School District was organized in November 1897 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at the midway point of E31-26-21W in what is now the Municipality of Gilbert Plains. The district was dissolved in 1967 and its area became part of the Brickburn Consolidated School District and, later, the Intermountain School Division. The former school building is no longer present there, having been moved to the Selo Ukraina site south of Dauphin. Among the teachers of Drifting River School was Mary Hamilton.
