Which fort in Manitoba was NOT established by La Vérendrye?

Explanation:
La Vérendrye and his brothers built a chain of forts in the upper Mississippi and Hudson Bay drainage to expand French trade and exploration in the 1730s–1740s. Among the forts listed, Fort Rouge sits along the Red River near what is now Winnipeg, Fort La Reine was built near Portage la Prairie, and Henley House operated farther north along the Hudson Bay route. Fort York, however, is the British fort at York (present-day Toronto) founded in 1793, well outside La Vérendrye’s western fort network. So Fort York is not one of the forts established by La Vérendrye.
