To a new year of community and love
Looking back on 2020 at The 519. Click to watch video.

We hope you are keeping well, and that you found moments of rest during the holidays.

The new year is here. We are excited...

Excited about the many programs and services we have planned this year to ensure that our communities are engaged and supported. About the new partnerships we have built, and about the many possibilities that 2021 will bring.

2020 was an incredibly challenging year for our communities and our community centre. But with you by our side, we powered through. That gives us hope and our work purpose. For that, we are grateful.

There is still a lot of work to be done this year as COVID-19 continues to impact our communities. With your support, we will continue to be on the frontlines, responding to their urgent, current, and emerging needs.

On that note, we invite you to look back with us on the past year at The 519. These moments represent our tireless work, impact, strength, as well as the challenges we faced together.

Here’s to 2021. Here’s to us. Here’s to our Army of Lovers.
