Krawchyk School was an elementary school that operated from 1911 to 1998 in the city of Winnipeg. St. James-Assiniboia School Division owned and operated Krawchyk School for operated for 87 years.
Krawchyk School was originally built to educate students in grades 1 to 3. The original building had one entrance for boys and one for girls with separate staircases. These were two stairs cases inside the school. An addition later was added on the south side of the building. The connecting wing and gym was added on the north side of the building.
Sometime later during the 20th century is when 4th grade added to this school. The homeroom for the 4th grade class was located right to the library in a straight shotgun styled hallway. The two doors at the end of the hallway led down to the gym.
The school closed in 1998. Krawchyk School was 1 of 26 schools that the James-Assiniboia School Division had closed within the last 40 years. The school sat vacant for 11 years before getting demolished on the date of February 6, 2009.
During demolition is when all the ballasts were removed. Ballasts contain toxic PCBs so they are removed before general demolition. Only older ballasts made prior to the 1980's were considered toxic. The newer ones were not so much.
Krawchyk School was located at 1950 Pacific Avenue West, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
