Land Acknowledgment:
We affirm that we are all treaty people and acknowledge that the York Region District School Board is located on the lands of two treaties. These treaties have been signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the First Nations of the Williams Treaties who are: the Mississaugas of Alderville, Curve Lake, Hiawatha, Scugog Island; and the Chippewas of Beausoleil, Rama, and Georgina Island who is our closest neighbour and partner in education.
To honour this agreement we will take up our responsibility to be respectful of their traditions, knowledge and inherent rights as sovereign nations. We will respect their relationship with these lands and recognize that our connection to this land is through the continued relationship with these First Nations, and we acknowledge our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
School History:
Beynon Fields P.S. officially opened in 2012. Beynon Fields P.S. was named after the Beynon Family who immigrated from Ireland in 1819 and settled and farmed in the area. The school is currently located where the Beynon farm existed. The family first settled on a lot across the road from present day St. John’s Anglican Church. During the years of becoming established, the family acquired a number of farms in the area. The family continues to thrive in Vaughan and King Townships where many descendants live today.
Our school motto is "C’est genial d’etre gentil".
Our school mascot is the Coyote.
Facilities:
A before and after school centre, owned and operated by ‘Le Club” is located at Beynon Fields P.S.
