build a new school on a separate site to the north quicker on their own than in a joint venture, which would take an extra year or longer to design and build. Ultimately, a new building was built to house St. Marguerite d'Youville on the proposed northerly site, on the east side of Dixie Road North between Sandalwood Parkway and Countryside Drive. It was expected to accommodate roughly ~1500 students from the growing north central Brampton area. Initially the new Dixie Road building was on the outer reaches of development in Brampton in the Springdale community, but over the next few years more and more surrounding farmland was developed into residential neighbourhoods and public transit access was improved. As time went on, enrollment from the surrounding area increased and a number of portables were added to the new school grounds, on the east side of the building where a small field was. Father Tobin Road, located to the immediate north of the current building, was named after a longtime Chaplain and Priest at the school, Father Tobin, who retired at the end of the 2002/2003 school year. At first it was a small section of road stretching east from Dixie and ending past the north roadway entrance, just north of the track field. As the surrounding farmland was redeveloped into residential neighbourhoods, it was extended east and now reaches Mountainash Road. When the school opened, Brampton Transit was contracted to provide a special bus service (Route 87 d'Youville school special) before and after school for students between Trinity Common Mall and the Dixie Road building. This was phased out when further development in the area warranted the extension of the Route 18 Dixie bus service from Octillo Blvd to Father Tobin Road in 2007. School bus routes were briefly offered to students coming from neighbourhoods further away (i.e. the Torbram and Bovaird area, and Castlemore) with the exception of the school busses being cut off in 2014. Facilities Facilities include: 130-seat theater Triple gymnasium Full weight room Library Chapel Cafeteria (nicknamed the "cafetorium" because of its partial auditorium) and Servery Shop area for wood and metalworking Dance studio Various classrooms specially equipped as cosmetics, science and computer labs Greenhouse room Track field with soccer goals 3 separate parking lots (one typically for teachers only) Programs and extracurriculars A popular extra-curricular that carried over from the late 1990s at the old
