We're celebrating 50 years of community health care — and sharing our 2026-2031 Strategic Plan: Creating a Future Where Everyone Belongs.

For half a century, SRCHC has worked alongside people and communities to build healthier, more connected lives. That work has always been grounded in an understanding that health is shaped by many factors—including access to healthcare, housing, food, relationships, and belonging.

As we mark this milestone anniversary, we're looking ahead. Our new Strategic Plan helps guide the next chapter of our work, grounded in health equity, community partnership, a commitment to meeting people where they are, and investing in a thriving, inclusive workplace.

Fifty years later, the goal remains the same: showing up, listening, and building healthier communities together.

Good health starts long before someone walks through our doors.

It starts with having a place to call home. Knowing where your next meal is coming from. Feeling connected to your community. That's why health care is about meeting people where they are — with care, compassion, and connection.

As we celebrate 50 years, we're sharing dreams for the future from the people who are part of our community.

Dreaming Forward:

"We dream of a future where every person is connected to primary care, and where everyone's basic needs are met, so everyone has the opportunity to live a healthier life and thrive." — Our Integrated Primary Connect Team

Here's to building healthier communities together — for the next 50 years.

For many people, walking through our doors is the first step after feeling unseen, unheard, or unsure where to turn.

Whether someone is experiencing homelessness, living with mental health or substance use challenges, or beginning their recovery journey, every interaction matters.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, one of our Community Health Workers shares the future she hopes to see:

"Dreaming forward means making sure every person feels seen, valued, and supported—wherever they are on their journey." — Clare Tumwebaze

For 50 years, that's been at the heart of our work and it's the future we'll continue cultivating together.

Last Saturday, we hosted a community clean-up event, in celebration of our 50th anniversary! ♻️

Together, we were able to collect the litter and waste in our neighbourhood. This initiative allowed us to give back to the community and work towards having a cleaner, healthier, more sustainable environment. 🌎

Thank you to all the volunteers and community members who contributed their time and effort to this community clean-up. 💚

Here’s to the next 50 years of making a difference together! 🎉

Yesterday, South Riverdale Community Health Centre, our partner organizations, and the community, came together for International Overdose Awareness Day. We took the time at this event to honour the lives of those we have lost to overdose, provide support to those impacted by the overdose crisis, and share vital resources.

Thank you to everyone that joined us and showed their support and to all of our community partner organizations that participated in this event.

We appreciate the support and this event was a great reminder that we are stronger when we stand together!💜

Rocky Dobey, the Toronto artist behind our Memorial for People Who Use Drugs, dreams of a future where communities have the resources and spaces they need to thrive.

In this clip, reflects on his start as an artist, as well as the importance of the act of remembrance within community.

On International Overdose Awareness Day, we’ll come together with community partners at Moss Park to honour lives, connect with one another and share information and resources.

Join us Monday, Aug. 31, from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. for food, activities, and opportunities to connect with local organizations.

As we celebrate 50 years, we’re not only looking back. We’re Dreaming Forward.

What does it mean to Dream Forward?

For Rocky Dobey, it means imagining a future where people have access to the support, services and housing they need to live with dignity.

is the Toronto artist behind our Memorial for People Who Use Drugs, a powerful and evolving tribute to people whose lives have been lost. His work reminds us of the importance of community, remembrance, and creating spaces where people can connect.

As part of our 50th anniversary celebration, we asked Rocky what he dreams of for the next 50 years:

“I dream of SRCHC having the resources to offer even more social services and more space, including another building specifically for housing. Supportive housing and social services are so important. Less and less resources are being put toward social services, and that needs to change. Right now.”

That vision feels especially meaningful as we mark International Overdose Awareness Day — a time to remember people whose lives have been lost to overdose, raise awareness, and come together around the importance of compassion, connection, and community care.

We’ll be gathering with our community partners at Moss Park on Monday, Aug. 31, from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. Join us for food, activities, and opportunities to connect with local organizations.

We’re grateful to Rocky for sharing his dream — and we’re committed to Dreaming Forward together.

To celebrate our 50th anniversary, we’re sharing 50 Years, 50 Faces — 50 stories honouring people who help bring SRCHC to life.

Every month or so, we introduce new faces and stories that help us remember where we’ve been, celebrate what we care about, and imagine where we’re headed next. Together, these stories reflect the richness, strength, and diversity of our community.

This month, as we commemorate the 25th Anniversary of International Overdose Awareness Day, we’re reflecting on the people whose lives — both lost and lived — have shaped our commitment to harm reduction.

In memory of harm reduction advocate Raffi Balian, we remember the many people who use drugs whose lives have touched our community. We honour their humanity and reaffirm our commitment to reducing stigma, protecting dignity, and providing compassionate, community-based care without judgment.

Today, we’re sharing the stories of five people who are part of this legacy:

Raffi Balian, a fierce advocate for people who use drugs and the first staff member of our Harm Reduction Program.

Rocky Dobey, the talented artist behind our Memorial for People Who Use Drugs.

Marqutio Lee Free, a client whose story reflects the strength and humanity at the heart of our community.

Patrick Esenerwa, a community partner and TNG Community Services Case Manager working alongside community members.

Clare Tumwebaze, one of our East Toronto HART Hub Community Health Workers helping build pathways to care and connection.

We invite you to join us on Monday, August 31, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Moss Park for a day of remembrance, reflection, and connection.
