Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre
A community where people rebuild their lives.
Welcome to PARC – the Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre.
PARC supports people facing mental health and substance use challenges, homelessness, poverty, and food insecurity. Our drop-in centre is open 365 days a year, with two daily meals and offers social and recreational programs, supportive housing, employment supports, and voluntary financial trusteeship (Money Matters).
We call the people who participate in our programs and services PARC members. Members shape this space by creating, contributing, and supporting one another but anyone who walks through our doors is part of the PARC community.
Those who wish to take part in governance can register for formal membership, which includes voting at our Annual General Meeting and serving on board committees.
