GDHS, which officially opened on Jan. 10 1887, was designed by architect Edward Lennox, who was also involved in designing Old City Hall, Casa Loma, King Edward Hotel and Massey Hall in Toronto. When the school opened there were only 69 students and two teachers. By 1913 school enrolment had grown to 120, with four staff members. The first major renovations occurred to the school in 1953/54 with the construction of the west wing. In 1958 the east wing was added to accommodate the school's growing population. The school's original building was demolished in 1959 and a new building was opened in 1960. From 1962 to 1967 additions included the resource centre, technical shops, cafeteria and swimming pool. In 1970 the GDHS board was amalgamated with the Halton Board of Education. Further additions included the library, music and computer rooms. The most recent renovations occurred between 2009-2011, which included improvements to the infrastructure of the school, a new cafeteria/food school, new music rooms, new auditorium, new science labs, a life skills centre and a new track and field with lights for night games. Current principal Varricchio was a student at the school back in 1987 when the 100th anniversary of the school was celebrated. In an interesting twist, some money from a long-forgotten account for that celebration was found and is being used for anniversary celebrations 25 years later. Varricchio said in January he received a letter from a Calgary man who indicated the school had unclaimed funds in a bank account and for a finder's fee he would access the money. Thinking it was fraud, Varricchio forwarded the information to the school board, but didn't give it much more thought, until a few weeks later he received an email about the unclaimed funds. But this time there was specific information about the account number and how to access it through the Bank of Canada website, which he did. Varricchio said the funds are being returned to the school and the $3,176 in the account that had been designated for stamps during the 100th anniversary celebrations will now go toward the 125th celebration. Planning for the event has been done over the past several months by Varricchio and GDHS staff members Krista Nicholls, David Hyde, Emmanuel Saitis, Randall Keast, Jay Trefethen, Paul Klassen, Len Untinen, Daniel Estevan, Stephen Skrovonek, Robert Attrell, Karen Sykes and Jeanette Frank. 5 ·The IFP· Halton Hills, Tuesday, May 22, 2012 NOTICE OF STATUTORY PUBLIC MEETING TOWN INITIATED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT PROPOSING MINOR REVISIONS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW DATE: June 11, 2012 TIME: 7:00 P.M.
