Historic Sites of Manitoba: Lakelet School No. 229 (RM of Minto-Odanah)Lakelet School was formally established in December 1883 and, the next year, a building was erected in the southeast quarter of 36-16-18 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Minto-Odanah. It closed in 1967 and the district was dissolved in January 1968. The school yard site has been converted into a cattle feed lot. Among the teachers who worked at Lakelet School was Robert R.
