Historic Sites of Manitoba: Strathcona School No. 1019 (Municipality of Gilbert Plains)The Strathcona School District was organized in May 1899 and, as of 1900, a one-room schoolhouse operated at NE14-24-23W in what is now the Municipality of Gilbert Plains. The school closed in 1967 and its area became part of the Intermountain School Division. The former school building was sold and moved to a farm where it was converted into a blacksmith shop. In June 2006, a commemorative sign was erected at the site. Among the teachers of Strathcona School was Miss Verna Storey (1930s).
