Danforth CTI was built and officially opened in 1923. Originally, all of the phys ed facilities were housed on the lowest level; the XY floor. That initial space included two small gymnasiums, changerooms, teacher offices and a pool. In 1967, the north extension was built and it included a brand new double gym. Since then, the pool has closed, and Greenwood SS occupies the south gym. The old central gym is now the Danforth fitness centre, and all of our phys ed classes, practices and home games take place in the North Double Gym and on the Field.
Built in 1967 as part of a major addition to the school, our gymnasium has served as the pulsing heart of our athletics program for generations. This massive double gym provides exceptional versatility, comfortably accommodating three full volleyball courts, six badminton courts, and a full regulation-sized basketball court for high-stakes competition. Equipped with a modern electric bleacher system to easily host large student assemblies and cheering crowds, the facility also features an overhead viewing gallery. Rich in tradition yet built for performance, it remains the ultimate venue for school spirit, athletic excellence, and community gathering.
Step onto one of the premier athletic grounds in the south region. Built to full regulation size, our facility offers student-athletes an authentic, high-performance playing surface featuring 100% real grass; a rare gem that sets our campus apart as one of the only true natural-turf regulation fields in the entire area.
Fully fenced in for maximum safety, security, and focused play, the field accommodates everything from intense varsity competition to physical education and school-wide events. This is where our community gathers, confidence is built, and athletic excellence takes root.
Transformed from a full-court gymnasium into a dynamic, modern training hub, our Fitness Centre is designed to support every student on their personal wellness journey. Upgraded during the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility is fully outfitted with top-tier strength and cardio equipment alongside a versatile dual-surface floor featuring impact-absorbing rubber for weightlifting and a dedicated astroturf stripe for agility drills and conditioning. Overhead, an elevated indoor track offers a seamless space for year-round walking and running. This space is open year round to athletes as well as the general student body via our fitness club.
