Located in Scarborough, the South Asian Autism Awareness Centre was created with the intention of inspiring families impacted by ASD in a culturally responsive manner. Founded in 2008, SAAAC has evolved to cater diverse communities and families across the GTA, providing accessible and discipline-rich management of ASD among children, youth, and adults.
In June, the Agency was renamed Centre for Immigrant and Community Services on its 45th anniversary, to better reflect the nature of its mission, programs and activities. In January, a commercial- grade community kitchen was completed to allow for food, nutrition and health-related programming.
