John Norquay Elementary School was officially opened in August 1913 to meet the increasing demands of the ever-growing influx of people into South Vancouver. John Norquay Elementary School seeks to enable students to become lifelong learners and valuable citizens in a learning environment supported by teachers and parents. In 1861, Colonel Richard Moody made the first modern attempt to break through the thick forests that covered the areas now known as Renfrew–Collingwood, building a military trail on the route of an ancient First Nations trail that led from New Westminster to English Bay. He then claimed 1.14 km² of land in the heart of the area, where the Collingwood commercial area now exists. The first settler in the area was George Wales, who moved to the area in 1878 and settled on an area bordered by Wales Street, Kingsway, and East 45th Avenue.
