Historic Sites of Manitoba: Stratherne School No. 349 (Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa)

The Stratherne School District was founded in November 1884 on the southwest quarter of 22-8-17W in what is now the Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa. In 1890, the building was moved to SE28-8-17 where it served until 1950 when a new school was built here, at the southeast corner of SW27-8-17W. The district was dissolved in 1962 and its catchment area became part of the Wawanesa Consolidated School District No. 2393 and later the Souris Valley School Division. A monument was erected at the site in 1970.
