Built in 1969 on a 20-acre property on Birchmount Road north of Sheppard Avenue, John Buchan opened on September 2, 1969 and Stephen Leacock Collegiate opened on September 8, 1970 as the borough's fifteenth collegiate institute. Both schools are connected to one building on Birchmount Road and form a larger kindergarten to Grade 12 campus with Pauline Johnson Jr. Public School. The school was designed by architects, Abram and Ingelson, following trends of brutalist architecture. The schools were named after John Buchan, the fifteenth Governor General of Canada and Stephen Leacock, an English Canadian teacher, political scientist, writer, and humourist.
