History
The Grand View School was opened in 1933 and was originally known as the Ontario Training School for Girls, Galt. It was originally located in Galt, Ontario (now Cambridge) but was moved to Cobourg in 1942 when the original facility was used for military purposes during the World War II and, later, as a Training School for Boys. In 1951, the Training School returned to Galt (the Cobourg facility continued for boys as the Pine Ridge School). In 1967, it was renamed the Grand View Training School, capable of holding 100 wards. It was closed in 1976.
