Historic Sites of Manitoba: Victoria Lake School No. 446 (RM of Killarney-Turtle Mountain)The Victoria Lake School District was established formally in July 1885 and a school building was erected on the northeast quarter of 12-1-18 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Killarney-Turtle Mountain. The school closed in 1960 when it was consolidated with Lena Consolidated School No. 1393. The school building is no longer present at the site but a metal sign commemorates it. Among the teachers of Victoria Lake School were James Magwood (1886), Martha Friesen (1960), and Miss Olive Christianson.
