Merridale Community Center

Known originally as the Spruce Lakes School District when it was organized formally in January 1909, it was renamed Merridale School District in February 1912. The school operated in the community of Merridale, in what is now the Municipality of Roblin. In September 1913, it became Merridale Consolidated School. After the school closed in 1967, its remaining students went to Goose Lake Consolidated School No. 1283. The former school building was converted into a community centre.

A monument nearby, erected in 1979 by the Merridale Community Club, is topped by the school bell, donated to it in 1914 by the first teacher, Mr. Joseph Patton, on his 70th birthday. The monument was made possible by donations of time and money by local residents and a special presentation by Mrs. Nora Lovatt, who taught at Merridale School from 1917 to 1918.

Among the teachers of Merridale School were Peter Bugera and Don Aiken.

Now The Merridale Community Center is ran by a group of volunteers from the surrounding area, with Tyson Curle as President and Dane Cockerill as Vise-President. They host multiple events like the skidoo poker derby, mud bogs, card parties, Christmas concerts, and kids events. You are also able to rent out the community center for your own events and gatherings.

The Merridale Community Center is a non-profit organization that relies on its volunteers and members to help with the upkeep of the community center as well as the grounds. These volunteers put in endless hours to ensure the Merridale Community Center can operate for many more years to come.

All profits from this clothing fundraiser will go directly to the Merridale Community Center.

We appreciate all of your support and contribution!
