Description

Loyola Catholic Secondary School is a Roman Catholic high school located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The school has approximately 1500 students, and is operated by the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board.Every two years, Loyola hosts "Culturefest", a celebration of Canada's diverse cultural make-up that features pavilions, food, and entertainment. The next Culturefest is slated for Spring 2016.Originally, the old building (at South Common Court) was built as a Middle school in 1978. It had gone through a series of expansions to accommodate the excess of students in the area. Although upgraded and renovated, it lacked the quality of facilities found in other secondary schools within the region.In the 2006-2007 year, the school lobbied the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District Schoolboard for a new facility. The new Loyola building was originally approved for construction in 2001. Complete architectural plans for the building were finished, and the project was ready to move underway. However, due to changes in government, the funding for the project was cut, and it was postponed indefinitely. The next time the issue was raised, it was a tie vote that was the result of a strong lobby by parents from Holy Name of Mary SS who did not want to move to the old Loyola campus. The 2006-2007 lobby was an attempt to get this project up and running again, as millions had already been spent on planning the new school, and the Loyola community wished for a facility on par with those enjoyed by other secondary schools. The Board voted against the project in favour of building new elementary schools in the Brampton region.
