Historic Manitoba school urged to wait as demolition looms
A Manitoba historic site, the 1913 Grose Lake Consolidated School in Roblin, faces demolition in December 1977. Forty three residents met January 8 at the Drop-In Centre to plan preservation, citing its historical value as the first consolidated school in Canada and a Shellmouth Dam survey benchmark. They formed a delegation to seek delays, explore grants, and form a preservation committee, noting heating costs and community support.
