The Arab Community Centre of Toronto

The Arab Community Centre of Toronto (ACCT) is a non-profit, non-political and non-religious settlement and community services organization. We assist individuals and families build lives in Canada through a multi-service, inclusive, and culturally-sensitive approach, in cooperation with communities. Our mission is to empower newcomers in Canada and strengthen local communities. The ACCT has been serving newcomers of all cultures, religions, and ethnicities since 1973.
We envision a healthy, equitable, inclusive and welcoming society that works together to engage with and integrate newcomers and other community members into the Canadian life style. The main focus of our park activities is to encourage our community to interact with each other, feel sense of belonging to the community, connect with nature and come together in fun activities. In 2019 we had a very successful artistic event in partnership with Shadow land theatre in Broadacres where the community came together for music, arts and crafts and story telling.
