Historic Sites of Manitoba: Vidir School No. 1460 (Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton)
Vidir School District was organized in May 1908 and a school building was constructed the next year in the southeast quarter of 30-23-2 east of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton. It closed in January 1966 and was consolidated with Arborg Consolidated School No. 2441. As of the early 1990s, the wood frame building was sitting vacant at SW30-24-2E.
Among the teachers who worked at Vidir School was Mr. J. P. Sorokowski (1964-1965).
