Ontario is home to the largest Somali diaspora outside of Africa. The SCCR is a valued partner that serves the needs of Toronto’s growing Somali community and makes our city and province a stronger, vibrant and more inclusive place

Michael Ford

MPP York South-Weston

This centre will be at the forefront of delivering City services and programs to meet community needs, represent a place of belonging, and promote empowerment. The Somali community have advocated for this much needed community centre for decades and look forward to seeing this project advance to the nextphase.

Vincent Crisanti

City Councillor Ward 1 Etobicoke North

Fundamentally there is a disconnect in how communities are both treated and how … they’ve grown, how they’ve matured and what level of access they’ve been given to mature. SCCR is a pivotal project for the Black community in Toronto, and one that is long over due

Sakariya A

Community Member

Public spaces in neighborhoods are one of our most important civic infrastructures in this city. These spaces provide a central physical location for organizing community
services, preserving local history and advancing social contributions.

Laidlaw Foundation

The Somali community needs its young leaders who can direct the potential of the community. It is a good idea. It is the right time

Awil Y

SCCR’s project will bring important services to the community and
key anchor partners that have the potential to provide high-quality educational, vocational, recreational,
health services and cultural programming.
