Historic Sites of Manitoba: Glenwood School / Glenelm School (96 Carmen Avenue, Winnipeg)

Principals | Vice-Principals | Teachers | Photos & Coordinates | Sources

Built by the construction firm of Hazellon and Walin under the supervision of W. A. Martin, the two-storey brick school opened in 1929. It was originally planned to be called Elmwood School but, on opening, was known as Glenwood School. In 1948, to avoid confusion with Glenwood School in St. Vital, it was renamed Glenelm School. Additions were made in the late 1980s and late 1990s.
