Nelson McIntyre Collegiate (NMC) is a grade 9-12 high school in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
In September 2015, NMC incorporated “Propel”, a district-wide, semester-long elective project-based learning opportunity into the school's programming.
Once King George V School, now owned and operated by Springs Christian Academy, in 1916, classes in homes and at the Salvation Army Hall ceased.
Following the war, in 1947, the firm of Green, Blankstein, and Russell presented plans for the new building to house the students and staff of Norwood Collegiate Institute.
[4] McIntyre, who laboured long and hard to see this new building through to fruition[5] died only a few weeks before the official opening ceremony of the school, which was held on November 15, 1956 at the school's present location of 188 St. Mary's Road in the Norwood West area of the Winnipeg's "city ward" of St. Boniface.
One broadcast, heard on Tuesdasy, July 22, 1986, stated that "an estimated $5 million fire had completed destroyed Nelson McIntyre Collegiate in Norwood".
[6] This fire was intentionally set, as evidenced by the point of origin on the second floor and spreading south the roofline.
With the help of many, all files and records were safely and securely removed from the attached Norwood School Division board offices in under 45 minutes; however, the teaching staff were not as fortunate.
It reads: "In grateful memory of the former students of Norwood Collegiate Institute who gave their lives in the World War 1939 - 1945".
