Historic Sites of Manitoba: Ralph Connor School No. 1769 (RM of Siglunes)

The Ralph Connor School District was established in January 1915, named for the nom-de-plume of novelist Charles W. Gordon, and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NE7-25-8W in the Rural Municipality of Siglunes. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Lakeshore School Division. No vestige of the former school was found during a 2016 site visit.
