Historic Sites of Manitoba: Mimosa School No. 532 (RM of Brenda)

The Mimosa School District was established formally in March 1888. A school was erected on the northeast quarter of 22-2-25 west of the Principal Meridian, in the Rural Municipality of Brenda. The school closed in 1949 and its remaining students went to Waskada Consolidated School No. 492 or Medora Consolidated School No. 493. The district was dissolved in 1959. A commemorative cairn for a school was erected July 1982, topped with a replica, but the school building is not present at the site.
