Early Years Programs

At the Early Years Centre, programs and services are provided for families and caregivers with children 0-6 years old. Structured and unstructured early learning activities are provided to facilitate school readiness, problem solving, communication, and promoting early literacy skills.

During the holiday season, the Early Years was busy with hosting 4 holiday parties: Dad’s program, Programa Infantil, Food for Thought and the Inclusive Holiday Party, that took place at Northwood Community Centre on December 15. At the Inclusive Holiday party one hundred and twenty five families attended the dinner and our volunteers and staff made sure the families had a good time.

GREEN CHANGE

What is the Centre for Green Change?

The Centre for Green Change is a new community space for environmental awareness and public engagement. We bring people and organizations together to amplify and accelerate the positive changes already happening in the neighbourhood.

Through our programs and events, we offer participants opportunities to build their environmental awareness, take leadership on community projects, connect with a network of local change-makers, and create pathways to employment.

The Centre for Green Change is part of our vision for a healthier, more prosperous, and just Jane-Finch community, rooted in the collaboration of local residents.

What is Stress & Stress Management

[Copyright © 1993 Canadian Mental Health Association]

Stress

We all talk about stress, but we are not always clear about what it is. This is because stress comes from both the good and the bad things that happen to us. If we did not feel any stress, we would not be alive! Stress becomes a problem when we are not sure how to handle an event or a situation. Then worry sets in, and we feel 'stressed.'

Tobermory Community Activities

Jane/Finch Community & Family Centre would like to thank The Home Depot Canada Foundation for their generous support towards the renovation for Tobermory Community Activities space.

The Spot

NO MIND LEFT BEHIND is our educational campaign that supports youth to achieve a minimum average of 80% on their report card and to assist with any of their academic goals.

Youth are being affected by the loss of extra-curricular programs and homework help support at school so The Spot will continue with the Homework Help Program in 2013 in preparing the youth for upcoming exams. We hope that youth will continue to reach out to The Spot as we are here to support them!

If you have any inquiries about this, please contact Indira David at 416-663- 2733 Ext. 259.

Youth Program's initiatives, Citizenship Test Preparation Session & Homework Club for Youth for 2013 resumed at 4400 Jane St. Suite 108 every Thursday from 4pm -6pm.

Three Cities Report

Did you know that during the 1970’s, Jane/Finch Community and the whole Black Creek area was a middle-income area? Thirty years later, our community is considered to be one of the lowest income and poorer neighborhoods in Toronto. This sad reality has been documented by numerous researchers. According to a recent report from the Centre for Urban and Community Studies (CUCS) at the University of Toronto, Toronto’s rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and middle-income neighbourhoods are becoming a minority. The report goes so far as to say that Toronto is no longer a “city of neighbourhoods,” but a “city of disparities.”* http://www.urbancentre.utoronto.ca.
