Glenora School is designed in an English style to reflect the neighbourhood’s architectural character and built by architects Rule, Wynn and Rule at a cost of $55,000. It officially opens November 14, 1940. The ravine which forms part of the south facing schoolyard is later filled in to prevent children getting into mischief.
