The
History The
Cabbagetown Boys Alliance; later renamed the Cabbagetown Youth Centre
(CYC) was formed in 1972 by volunteers, providing social and recreational
programs for youth in the eastern inner city core of Toronto. The
Centre responded to need for preventative services in a community
with one of the highest youth crime rates in Metro Toronto. In its
founding year the centre was used by over 700 members, gradually
expanding programs from social activities to learning skills including
ESL and computer classes for children, youth and adults. Today the
Centre provides services and programs from three permanent locations
as well as a summer camp program in Goderich Ontario. Community
Recoginiton The
CYC located at 650 Parliament Street is headed into its second year
of operation. The success of the CYC at 650 Parliament Street is
the result of a number of organiaztions and volunteers leading support.
Other organizations taht deserve a public note of thanks for lending
a helping hand at 650 Parliament are The Royal Bank amd Microsoft
Canada
