This school was constructed in 1955 making it one of the oldest schools in Vaughan, being built way before the surrounding houses were. There is lots of information about the school in this document regarding its demoltion: https://pub-vaughan.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=87187 The school hasn't been used as a public school since 2001-2002, but was then used for programs for autistic children from 2002-2018. So it was only actually abandoned for around 4 years. What I find very surprising is that despite it being abandoned and with lots of people nearby, before it was demolished it hadn't really faced any vandalism or damage at all.
