MAKE AN IMPACT

Make a donation

Communities like Jane-Finch and Black Creek have historically been underfunded and underserved. As the cost of living rises, the programs and services you help fund are more critical than ever. Your support helps us respond to the real and changing needs of our community - providing services that are accessible, consistent and rooted in care.

We are a registered charity. Every gift of more than $25 is tax-receiptable.

This workshop is designed to center community voices and experiences in shaping how heat information is shared. This workshop is open to all community members! 📅 June 6, 2026 | 2:00 – 4:00 PM 📍Jane Finch Mall | 1911 Finch Ave West #50A To register, visit our website linked in bio: janefinchcentre.org/program-events/heat-vulnerability-workshop For more information, please contact: reyna.wu@mail.utoronto.ca

In the 1990s, the Jane/Finch Centre expanded its mandate to formally include youth, reflecting the growing needs of the community. During this decade, JFC introduced anti-racism programs, community speak-outs, and substance use prevention initiatives to support youth and families across Jane and Finch.

This month, the Jane/Finch Centre had a special visit from Peggy Edwards and Wanda MacNevin, two remarkable women who have helped shape the foundation of JFC. As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, they visited our 4400 Jane Street location to look through archival photos and share memories from JFC’s early days. Coincidently, they arrived wearing the very same colours they wore in a photo from the 1970s, taken right here in the same building they came back to visit all these years later. Continue watching to see the original photo. To explore more archival photos, visit our 50th anniversary page, linked in bio: Janefinchcentre.org/anniversary
