The local government boundaries commission under R. G. Smeliie releases a final plan for Manitoba rural school divisions. It recommends keeping most divisions, adding areas to Beautiful Plains, and transferring districts to Pembina Valley. Nine educational regions outside Greater Winnipeg would align with regional development boundaries, with a regional board overseeing planning, equalization, vocational education, and boundary changes. The plan aims to ensure equal educational opportunities from grades 1 through 12 across the province.
