We look forward to continuing our stewardship of this process with the Province, City of Toronto and Metrolinx, and securing the necessary sustainable funding to build and operate the hub that our community has envisioned over many years.

We need to acknowledge the tremendous effort and work of the Jane Finch community, a diverse and vibrant neighbourhood, towards securing this land. Today is an important step in this resident-led community initiative to create our Jane Finch Community Hub and Centre for the Arts.

After years of community work and advocacy, the Province of Ontario has announced that it is transferring just over 2 acres of land along Finch between Norfinch Dr & York Gate Blvd to the City of Toronto at no cost for our community to build a Community Hub & Centre for the Arts.
