Historic Sites of Manitoba: Happy Lake School No. 1956 (Municipality of Roblin)The Happy Lake School District was organized formally in March 1919 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SE28-30-28W in what is now the Municipality of Roblin. The district was dissolved in 1967 and its catchment area became part of the Intermountain School Division. The only vestiges remaining at the time of a 2019 site visit were the concrete foundations of the school and its teacherage. A metal commemorative sign at the site was erected by local resident Lloyd John Elder. Among the teachers of Happy Lake School was Clarence E. Heapy (1926).
