Christie Ossington Neighbourhood Centre

Founded in 1993, Christie Ossington Neighbourhood Centre (CONC) is a multi-service agency in West Downtown Toronto providing essential and innovative services for vulnerable community members. We provide free programs, services and supports for children, youth, adults and seniors living in poverty, including community members who are newcomers, sole-support parents, challenged by mental and physical health issues, lacking food and income security, homeless, underhoused, and experiencing other barriers to living healthy lives and participating fully in community. CONC was incorporated in 1997 as a non-profit organization, gained charitable status in 2002 and became a United Way member agency in 2001. CONC is governed by an elected Board of Directors largely consisting of local residents who reflect the diversity of the catchment area.
