Sprucedale Youth Centre

Sprucedale Youth Centre (formerly known as Sprucedale Training School) is a youth detention centre in Simcoe, Ontario, Canada operated by the province's Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services.

The centre houses high-security male young offenders between 13 and 18 years of age, primarily those convicted of serious offences under the Youth Criminal Justice Act up to and including murder.

The province of Ontario ran the high school as an independent unit within the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services; however, an administrative change was made throughout the province and the obligation to run the school was placed in the hands of the Grand Erie District School Board that operated in the facility's region.

The teachers are not expected to be involved in correctional activities, rather they are dedicated to providing education like in any other high school environment and are often unaware of the prisoner's case history or criminal background.

In 2018, educational duties for the Sprucedale Youth Centre were transferred to the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board.
