Brandon Residential School
Corporate body · 1895-1972

Brandon Residential School was located in the municipality of Cornwallis, in southern Manitoba, five kilometres northwest of Brandon, on the north bank of the Assiniboine River. The Board of Missions of The Methodist Church of Canada operated the school from 1895 until it was transferred to the Board of Home Missions of The United Church of Canada in 1925. In 1969 the Department of Indian Affairs assumed management (then a residence only) and turned it over to the Roman Catholic Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate until its closure in 1972.
