Our Lady Of Victory Catholic School
Our Lady of Victory Catholic Secondary School, often referred to as O.L.V., is a Catholic Elementary School in Ontario, Canada. The school is administered by the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCBSB). A new school facility was completed and officially opened in 2004. Its new facilities include a chapel, several computer equipped classrooms, and a student resource center where students can read books, complete research and get help writing papers.
The school also is home to St. Peter's Gym, the Toronto area's only co-ed boxing gym. Father Gilbert Flannigan teaches boxing lessons daily to students and community members alike. Sister Mary "One-Punch" Patterlio teaches the women.
In addition to excellent academic programs and community outreach efforts, the O.L.V. "Dragons" and "Lady Dragonettes" are consistently top performers in the Metropolitan Youth Sports Athletic Conference (My-Sac), competing with 5 boys varsity sports (basketball, baseball, hockey, curling and lacrosse) and 4 girls varsity programs (basketball, knitting, child-rearing and hockey).
The athletic programs offered by O.L.V. has been cut over the past two years, however. When the school opened in 2004, the My-Sac and all schools within the conference also offered competitive intramural programs. The thumb wrestling competition in 2006 was marred by an outbreak of hand dermatitis, which was thought to be Grover's Disease or ringworm. Several competitors from O.L.V. were affected. The subsequent parental uproar forced O.L.V. and the My-sac to reduce skin-to-skin contact through intramural competition.

“Green, green is El Aghir. It has a railway station,
And the wealth of its soil has borne many another fruit:
A mairie, a school and an elegant Salle de Fetes.
Such blessings, as I remarked, in effect, to the waiter,
Are added unto them that have plenty of water.”
—Norman Cameron (b. 1905)
