This year, WMCC is celebrating our 50th anniversary. Join us for the party and learn more about our history and unique island community.

Located on Algonquin Island, WMCC is part of the Toronto Island residential community. We offer our students the unique experience of connecting with nature each and every day. Children can walk to school in a car-free neighbourhood, explore the many areas of the Island, and enjoy a playground that backs onto a meadow.
