Located in the heart of Parkdale for over 45 years, Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre (PARC) began in 1977 when a group of volunteers observed the large number of adults living in Parkdale rooming and boarding houses. Many were survivors of the psychiatric system, had little money, few family contacts and no real place to go and connect with peers. On March 17,1980 PARC opened its doors as a pilot community mental health program. Our passion for providing member-driven programming, employment, food security, social space and safe supportive affordable housing, has evolved and grown to meet our members’ needs for nearly five decades.
