Historic Sites of Manitoba: Zoria School No. 1614 (Municipality of Gilbert Plains)
The Zoria School District was organized in March 1912 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NW35-27-21W in what is now the Municipality of Gilbert Plains. The original school building was destroyed by fire in 1938 but was replaced the following year. The district was dissolved in 1967 and its area became part of the Intermountain School Division. The school building is no longer present at the site.
