The Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre (PARC) has been a cornerstone of the Parkdale community in Toronto since it opened its doors on March 17, 1980. Initially launched as a pilot mental health program by a group of dedicated volunteers, PARC continues to evolve to meet the needs of those facing mental health challenges, homelessness, poverty, and food insecurity. Over the past 45 years, PARC has expanded its range of services and programs that empower individuals to rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose.
At PARC, we believe in creating a community where everyone is welcome, and our members play a vital role in shaping the programs and governance of the center. By providing a supportive drop-in environment and essential services like housing assistance and employment support, we strive to help individuals foster connections and improve their overall well-being. PARC operates daily, ensuring that everyone in Parkdale has access to the resources they need for a better life.
