Historic Sites of Manitoba: St. Urbain School No. 903 (Municipality of Lorne)
The St. Urbain School District was established in February 1897 and, from 1897 to 1904, a one-room schoolhouse operated between sections 29 and 32 of 5-11W in what is now the Municipality of Lorne and between 1904 and 1959 in the southwest corner of SW4-6-11W . In 1959, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Ste. Marie Consolidated School District and later the Mountain School Division.
