Most people know TDChristian as a vibrant place of learning during the day, but many would be surprised to discover how alive our campus becomes after the final bell. One of the goals of the 20/20 Building Project was to create a facility that would bless our wider community, and today that vision is being lived out in meaningful and unexpected ways.
On weeknights the gymnasium fills with the energy of Venom Volleyball. Three times a week their league arrives, greeting coaches, setting up nets, and turning the court into a place of skill building and community connection.
Across the hall, the Commons transforms into a training studio. Tarkwando teaches tae kwon do from Tuesday to Thursday, the space an effective blend of functionality and warmth. Practitioners line up in tidy rows, practising discipline, confidence, and focus under the warm lights of a room that offers hospitality and flexibility.
Our Presentation Centre, imagined during the 20/20 project as a space for both school and community, has become a hub for artistic and public events. Merriam Academy regularly fills the room with proud parents and young musicians during their local recitals. Degazon Music does the same. The space has also hosted charity events for Light House, Camp Widjiwin, and Canadian National Baptist Women. Even local creatives have found a home here, including Christian artist C Dot who recorded a music video inside the school.
Church communities including North City Church also find space to gather at TDChristian, meeting throughout the year for worship, prayer, and special events. The Well runs a summer camp in our building, filling classrooms and hallways with laughter and active learning.
This steady rhythm of activity tells a powerful story. Our building is more than bricks, rooms, and facilities. It is a living place where education, community, artistry, sport, and ministry meet. By opening our doors beyond the school day, TDChristian continues to serve in ways that reflect our mission and extend our hospitality. As a result, our campus remains a blessing to students and to the many neighbours who now call this place part of their story.
