Historic Sites of Manitoba: Loon Lake School No. 1184 (Municipality of Ethelbert)The Loon Lake School District was established in May 1902 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SE15-30-22W in what is now the Municipality of Ethelbert. In 1966, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Ethelbert Consolidated School District and later the Duck Mountain School Division.
