The Neighbourhood Collection: Made in Jane-Finch

At the Jane/Finch Centre, we've transformed our art into neighbourhood artifacts—pieces that capture the essence our events, stories, and everyday lives. Now, we’re sharing these pieces with our supporters.

From now until January 10, 2025, donations of $49 or more come with an exclusive, limited-edition Jane/Finch Centre (JFC) keepsake. These pieces symbolize our shared commitment to community, and is our way of thanking you for your support.

  • Donate $49 or more to receive a limited-edition t-shirt.

  • Donate $89 or more to receive a custom-designed hoodie.

Each design, created by two JFC staff members—one a local resident— tells a story of life and community, from our perspective.

As an additional way to show our gratitude, we’re hosting The Spot Café, a special event on Tuesday, January 28, 2025. This exclusive gathering is your chance to pick up your keepsake, meet our team, connect with youth leaders and local artists, and explore the space where your contributions are making a difference.

The story behind our designs

  • From Jane-Finch, With Love.

    Jane-Finch is more than a neighbourhood.

    For decades, its name has been overshadowed by negative stereotypes, but those who call it home know the truth. Jane-Finch is alive, creative, and and held together by an unapologetic pride. Community love is a part of that story. In the 1970s, residents turned frustration into action, laying the groundwork for what would become the Jane/Finch Centre. Their fight came from a deep love for their community.

    The buildings in the drawings represent the spaces where we live and work. The buses reflect how we move and connect. This design is a love letter to community.

    Designed by artists Chin and Moose.

  • Community Love & Basketball

    ©️ The Jane/Finch Live '24 basketball tournament was held at the Driftwood Community Centre on September 14, 2024.

    With the slogan Hoopers Without Borders, this year’s tournament focused on youth violence prevention, and brought together teams from North and South Jane-Finch, Rexdale, and Regent Park. These neighbourhood hoopers showed out for their communities.

    Designed by Chin and Moose, our designs and colour ways reflect this vision.

    LOVE BRINGS COLOUR TO EVERYTHING.
