Historic Sites of Manitoba: McVey School No. 2303 (Municipality of Swan Valley West)The McVey School District was organized formally in October 1942 and a schoolhouse operated at the southwest corner of NW9-37-29W in what is now the Municipality of Swan Valley West. The district was dissolved in 1967 and its catchment area became part of the Swan Valley School Division. The former school building was used from 1969 to 1972 as a bible study centre by local Mennonites then, from 1975 to 1997, as a community centre. Among the teachers of McVey School were Miss Olive Sigurdson (1945) and Mrs. McKay (1966-1967).
