==History== |
==History== |
||
North Toronto High School was founded in 1910 and was |
North Toronto High School was founded in 1910 and was traditionally housed in the [[North Toronto]] [[Town Hall]]. The original two-storey school building had five rooms, and was completed in 1912 (the same year that the town of [[North Toronto]] became part of the [[Old Toronto|City of Toronto]]).<ref>{{Cite book|title=Centennial Story: The Board of Education for the City of Toronto 1850-1950|last=Hardy|first=Edwin Austin|publisher=Thomas Nelson & Sons (Canada) Limited|year=1950|editor-last=Cochrane|editor-first=Honora M.|location=Toronto, ON}}</ref> Later, the school was renovated in 1914 by Charles Hartnoll Bishop<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://dictionaryofarchitectsincanada.org/node/1127|title=Bishop, Charles Hartnoll | Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada}}</ref> to include a third storey and became the north side of the old building, once the south section was built.<ref name="https://www.northtorontoci.ca/">{{Cite web|url=https://www.northtorontoci.ca/the-new-north-toronto/|title = The New North Toronto – North Toronto Collegiate Institute}}</ref> Other additions included the 1956 math (east) wing, swimming pool, cafeteria and auditorium, as well as the science wing in 1966–1967.<ref name="https://www.northtorontoci.ca/"/> |
||
==New building== |
|||
North Toronto Collegiate Institute moved into to a new building in September 2010. This much improved building cost an estimated 52 million dollars. The new facility includes a roof garden, underground parking lot, and school-wide wifi system. Once demolition of the old building is complete, construction on an artificial turf field will commence. |
|||
[[File:North Toronto Collegiate Institute.JPG|thumb|right|North Toronto Collegiate Institute's old building, the Roehampton Avenue entrance in July 2009.]] |
|||
In 2002, the North Toronto CI was one of the oldest buildings in the [[TDSB]], and was in need of major repair. A planning process was undertaken to build a new school.<ref name="https://www.northtorontoci.ca/"/> Due to a lack of available capital funding at the school board, a decision was taken in 2003 to seek private investment to augment funding committed by the TDSB. Subsequently, [[Tridel]], a large Canadian condominium development corporation, bought 0.7 acres of land from the TDSB for $23 million.<ref>https://www.thestar.com/article/857055--new-north-toronto-collegiate-opens-sharing-space-with-condo-towers The Toronto Star, 4 December 2011</ref> Groundbreaking occurred November 21, 2007, a year after the project had originally been slated for completion. During construction, the school remained open to students because the new building was built on the location of the old sports field. The old building was later demolished and turned into a turf field and track. |
|||
Architectural aspects of the old building, [[Collegiate Gothic]], were preserved in the new building's courtyard. [[Tridel]] built two condominiums, 24 (25 Broadway Ave) and 27 (70 Roehampton Ave) stories high.<ref>http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2011/10/completion-republic-yonge-eglinton Urban Toronto, 4 December 2011</ref> The new school was opened in September 2010, and the condominiums and the school's new field October 2011. Its gymnasium and exercise room are located in the basement. The new four-storey building, which cost an estimated $52 million,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.parentcentral.ca/parent/education/backtoschool/article/857055--new-north-toronto-collegiate-opens-sharing-space-with-condo-towers|title = New North Toronto Collegiate opens, sharing space with condo towers|date = 5 September 2010}}</ref> features a rooftop garden, equipped science labs, a full gymnasium, change rooms, exercise room, an underground parking lot, a cafeteria, and school-wide [[Wi-Fi]]. |
|||
North Toronto will be celebrating its 100th anniversary in May of 2012. |

North Toronto Collegiate Institute is a semestered, public high school institution with over 1,200[3] students located in North Toronto area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The school is operated and governed by the Toronto District School Board.[4] From its founding until 1998, it was overseen by the Toronto Board of Education.
The school is located in Midtown Toronto in the Yonge and Eglinton neighbourhood. The majority of students come from the surrounding Chaplin estates, Lytton Park, Mount Pleasant, Davisville Village, Bayview Avenue, Moore Park, Lawrence Park, Broadway Avenue and St. Clair Avenue areas. All students have North Toronto C.I. as their home school.The closest TTC subway station is Eglinton station. Their motto is "Labor Omnia Vincit" which means Work conquers all.
North Toronto CI celebrated its 100th anniversary in May 2012.
History
[edit]North Toronto High School was founded in 1910 and was traditionally housed in the North Toronto Town Hall. The original two-storey school building had five rooms, and was completed in 1912 (the same year that the town of North Toronto became part of the City of Toronto).[5] Later, the school was renovated in 1914 by Charles Hartnoll Bishop[6] to include a third storey and became the north side of the old building, once the south section was built.[7] Other additions included the 1956 math (east) wing, swimming pool, cafeteria and auditorium, as well as the science wing in 1966–1967.[7]
New building
[edit]In 2002, the North Toronto CI was one of the oldest buildings in the TDSB, and was in need of major repair. A planning process was undertaken to build a new school.[7] Due to a lack of available capital funding at the school board, a decision was taken in 2003 to seek private investment to augment funding committed by the TDSB. Subsequently, Tridel, a large Canadian condominium development corporation, bought 0.7 acres of land from the TDSB for $23 million.[8] Groundbreaking occurred November 21, 2007, a year after the project had originally been slated for completion. During construction, the school remained open to students because the new building was built on the location of the old sports field. The old building was later demolished and turned into a turf field and track.
Architectural aspects of the old building, Collegiate Gothic, were preserved in the new building's courtyard. Tridel built two condominiums, 24 (25 Broadway Ave) and 27 (70 Roehampton Ave) stories high.[9] The new school was opened in September 2010, and the condominiums and the school's new field October 2011. Its gymnasium and exercise room are located in the basement. The new four-storey building, which cost an estimated $52 million,[10] features a rooftop garden, equipped science labs, a full gymnasium, change rooms, exercise room, an underground parking lot, a cafeteria, and school-wide Wi-Fi.
Charity Week
[edit]Each year, North Toronto CI runs Charity Week to raise money for a charitable foundation that is selected annually by all students. Money is raised through student-organized events, such as home-form booths and specialty shows. Charity Week is spearheaded by the two Student Council vice-presidents, who also lead the Charity Week Committee.

2007-2008 | $40,000 | Stephen Lewis Foundation |

The North Toronto CI's boys' varsity ice hockey team won the TDSSA championship in 2012, for the first time since 1994 and 1952.[citation needed] The North Toronto CI's girls' field hockey team won the TDSSA championship in 2005, 2006, and 2008.[citation needed]
