2005:  Subsequent investigations yielded a basic description of the location
from a local school district history book.  I then drove there and knocked
on a few doors one Sunday afternoon.  This got me a pretty good description.
It also introduced me to a local lady who said the school in this picture
was replaced in the 30's or so.  The second school was abandoned in the 60's
and in the 70's someone moved it somewhere and used it as a house or addition!

To get to the original site, drive 6.5km N from the north end of Canora to
secondary road #754.  Turn right and drive 4.4km E.  The school was about
400m (1/4 mi) N of the road, in a lower area next to the slough.
Unfortunately, nothing remains there.

GPS coordinates are: (WGS 84)  N51 42.651 W102 22.389 which is the same as
13 U 681479 5732145 in UTM coordinates.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with information or stories to add.
