Join Senior Tamils' Centre of Ontario's Community Today
Our New Home
We are thrilled to share a monumental update from the Senior Tamils’ Centre of Ontario—a journey that began back in 1986 and has now reached a milestone we've long dreamed about.
We Did It! On January 27, 2024, we made a collective decision that will forever be etched in our history. With great pride, we announce that as of June 21, 2024, we are the proud owners of our very own office space! This achievement is not just a purchase—it is the realization of years of ambition and community spirit.
Our new space is ideally located at 3852 Finch Avenue East, Suite #210, Toronto, ON M1T 3T9—right near the heart of the convenient Finch and Kennedy intersection. This location promises to be a hub of activity and engagement for our centre.
The acquisition of this space was made possible by the relentless effort and dedication of many, especially our President, the building committee, our diligent board (past boards included), our committed staff, and most importantly, you—our members. Your support, along with the generous contributions from well-wishers in the final stages, has brought this vision to life.
We are currently customizing the office to meet our specific needs and are excited to start moving in the first week of July. Looking ahead, we plan to host a soft opening later in the month of July. It would be an honor to have you join us and witness first-hand what we have accomplished together. This event will be a wonderful opportunity for us all to celebrate, reconnect, and look forward to the future activities and programs that will be planned from our new home.

Support us
Senior Tamils’ Centre of Ontario’s (STC) mission is to enhance well-being, reduce isolation, and instill a sense of belonging among seniors by mobilizing, socializing and providing support and advocacy. Our challenge in a changing society is the increase in the aging population, and to provide services to them. Also, there is an urgent growing need for funding supports for programs and services to address the immediate needs of our senior members.
Why donate
Senior Tamils’ Centre of Ontario is always expanding to meet the needs of our members and the community, yet some of the programs STC offers are not government funded. This leaves the most vulnerable community with unmet needs. Your support will help us to accomplish our goal and continue working towards the mission of Senior Tamils’ Centre of Ontario. Your support can be given in honor or in memory of someone special.
