Much like the rich fabric that is Canadian culture, our Polycultural family proactively reflects the diversity of the communities which we serve, proudly made up of various cultural, ethnic and racial backgrounds. We work together to bring immigrants our expertise in successful integration and settlement through the many channels of services we provide across our six Polycultural Immigrant Community Services locations.
Originally founded as West Hill Community Services in 1977, Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities (SCHC) is one of the most established and comprehensive community health organizations in the province. The organization owes its beginnings to 13 community agencies, a core group of community leaders and countless volunteers who identified emerging health and social needs within Scarborough.After incorporating and acquiring not-for-profit status, SCHC built on the initial services of our Meals-on-Wheels, home support, transportation and family support programs. After a successful rebranding campaign, we employ over 130 staff, engage over 14,000 volunteers and operate 38 distinct and integrated services across 10 sites that work together to improve the health of our community. We provide medical assistance through our clinics, are involved in a growing youth program and have a multitude of social support programs including a food bank.
