The new Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School is officially set to open for students in Aurora, Ontario, this fall following a $67.5 million investment from the provincial government. The modern facility will provide space for 1,212 students and is located at 11 Spring Farm Road.
Dawn Gallagher Murphy, the Member of Provincial Parliament for Newmarket-Aurora, visited the construction site on March 2, 2026, to mark the nearing completion of the project. The new building will replace the existing school on Dunning Avenue to better serve the growing local population.
According to the York Region District School Board, the school features updated classrooms and modern equipment. This project is part of a larger plan by the provincial government to spend $23 billion over 10 years on building and fixing schools across the province.
MPP Gallagher Murphy stated that this investment will ensure families and students have access to a quality learning environment in the years ahead. The new location was chosen to provide more room for students in the northeast part of the community where existing schools have become crowded.
