Turtle River School Division
This year is a historic year for Turtle River School Division, as they proudly celebrate their 50th Anniversary. Turtle River School Division was first formed back in 1967, when it became the 32nd division in Manitoba. It has been Turtle River School Division’s privilege to serve the region and area in educating the residents and community. Schools and divisions alike are local hubs and they support a community in many ways. They are proud to be a part of the various communities and feel honoured to have been a part of their lives.

By the end of this year, the road may be paved for ride sharing services, such as Uber, to operate legally within the province. On March 20, the provincial government introduced Bill 30, which will deregulate the industry and open the door for new players.
