Historic First Consolidated School Slated for Demolition
Residents gathered January eighth at the Drop-In Centre to oppose tearing down Manitoba’s historic 1918 Elementary School. Local leaders formed a committee to study preservation, noting the building’s world first consolidation status, historic bench mark, and potential as a library arts centre or museum. A Roblin council petition with 600 names backs preservation, as organizers seek grants and broader community support to save the structure.
