Historic Sites of Manitoba: Wood Bay School No. 307 (Municipality of Louise)Wood Bay School was established formally in 1883. A school building was erected on the northeast quarter of 6-4-10 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Municipality of Louise. It closed in 1966 and its remaining students went to Pilot Mound Consolidated School No. 105. The school building is no longer present at the site but a metal sign commemorates it. Among the teachers of Wood Bay School were Jack M. Scurfield and J. Muriel Smith (wife of Michael Ewanchuk).
