The Greenspace Project at Greenwood is now complete! It was made possible with the help of donors who came forward to support this next phase of Greenwood’s growth.
Access to this Greenspace is much needed for our Greenwood community. With more than 55 athletics teams and the vast majority of our students (97.7% in Grades 7 and 8!) playing on at least one Greenwood team, the new turf practice field will be exceptionally well-used. And, all students will have access to the space and the surrounding benches and tree canopy at breaks and lunch.
Our Greenspace is here and students are already running on its incredible turf, gathering with friends for fresh air under the pergola at lunch time, and connecting with classmates on the turf-mound seating on a sunny day.
Thank you to everyone who helped bring this project to fruition.

"The new Greenspace will seamlessly expand Greenwood's campus and become an outdoor gathering space for our classes, students, staff and teams." - Heather Thomas, Principal
We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
