Historic Sites of Manitoba: Jaques School No. 605 (RM of Killarney-Turtle Mountain)The Jaques School District was organized formally in August 1889, named for settler George Jaques on whose farmland, at SW6-2-17W in what is now the Rural Municipality of Killarney-Turtle Mountain, a one-room schoolhouse was constructed in early 1890. A new schoolhouse was built in 1931. It closed and the district was dissolved in 1967. Its catchment area became part of the Killarney School District and later the Turtle Mountain School Division. The school is commemorated by a metal sign at its former location. Among the teachers of Jaques School were Jessie Cameron (1890) and Mrs. Marie Whiteside (1966).
