Sir Frederick Temple Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Earl of Dufferin (1826 – 1902) was Canada’s third Governor General. Lord Dufferin established the Governor General’s Academic Medals to reward excellence by Canadian students in high schools, colleges and universities, and they are still awarded today.
At Lord Dufferin P.S. we strive to build a Culture of Responsible Students.
Lord Dufferin P.S. is a downtown inner-city school serving families in the Regent Park community. The old building was built in the 1920's with additions in the late 1940's. A new school building was completed in January, 2000. In the fall of 2003, the school yard was landscaped with the addition of a baseball diamond, soccer field, walkway to Berkeley Street and new fencing. In May, 2008, a new play structure was donated and built by the Kids Around the World Organization and the Million Dollar Round Table Foundation.
