Historic Sites of Manitoba: Lavinia School No. 436 (Lavinia, Municipality of Hamiota)The Lavinia School District was established in October 1885 and a school building was situated at this spot in what is now the Municipality of Hamiota. In 1920, it became Lavinia Consolidated School No. 436 with its consolidation with Ellenville School No. 871. The school closed in 1961 and its catchment area became part of the Hamiota Consolidated School District No. 692. The school building is no longer present at the site but a monument commemorates it. Among the teachers who worked at Lavinia School were Frank Irwin Tindall and Joyce Isabelle Richardson Lief.
