Murdoch MacKay Collegiate is part of River East Transcona School Division in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
It was named for Murdoch Mackay, a prominent physician, leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party, member of the provincial legislature and long-time Transcona resident. MacKay taught school in his hometown of Melville, Nova Scotia, before coming west and graduating from Manitoba Medical School in 1916.
When the building opened in September 1963, one year after his passing, his wife, Ruby, attended the official dedication ceremony and laying of the cornerstone. The red brick structure opened with 22 rooms, but has undergone numerous expansions since, which have included the addition of Power Mechanics, Aerospace and Fashion Technology vocational areas. Murdoch also offers a full range of Advanced Placement courses.
