Prepared September, 1992 -Updated 2010 - The Tyndall Park Community School represents one of the most recent additions to the number of schools in the Winnipeg School Division. Originally intended to open in September of 1977 but delayed by a construction site fire, it opened its classroom portion during February, 1978. All facilities within the building and on the site were in full operation by the fall term of 1978. The school offers a wide range of facilities and programs for school age children. Integrated within the building design are sports and cultural facilities for children.
