ANNUAL REPORT 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 2 0 MISSION STATEMENT

Jane/Finch Centre is a community based organization driven by passion, innovation and a strong commitment to social justice, community engagement and collaboration.

VISION STATEMENT

Our vision is a healthy Jane Finch community strong, inclusive, socially and politically active through diversity, opportunity and participation.

STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS

Our Vision will inspire and guide us towards the future that we seek to create with our communities. We have identified three strategic directions to support the resilience of our organization and positive change in the community:

1. Strengthening the capacity of our community to contribute to systemic social change 2. Reducing poverty and its effect on physical and mental health in our community, with an emphasis on youth, seniors and families 3. Enhancing the practices of our organization.

All three strategic directions contribute to achieving our vision of a healthy Jane/Finch community. They will enable JFC to continue to build on its strengths and be responsive to the needs and opportunities of our community partners.

Tax time can be a very overwhelming task for many people, but for low income residents it is important to file as it can increase the money coming into their household. Through our work and the support of volunteers from the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program at Revenue , we were able to put $11.4 million dollars in benefits and credits back into the hands of Ontarians in a single tax season.

“YOUR SERVICES ARE GREAT FOR PEOPLE LIKE MY SISTER AND AUNT WHO HAVE DISABILITIES AND UNDERLYING HEALTH ISSUES. YOU HAVE PUT THEIR MINDS AT EASE. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR DOING AN AWESOME JOB.” - LISA

ANNUAL REPORT 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 2 0 The Community Resource

Centre (CRC) continues to be committed to supporting and enabling individuals to access resources and build capacity. The administrative services provided by the CRC to residents, such as photocopying, printing, faxing, scanning, emailing, document vetting and interpretation, bridge a gap in the community where the cost of these services are often a barrier for residents.

We are also deeply committed to bridging the technology gap. This year we intensified our efforts in the area to support local community members. Residents accessed our services to help strengthen the ways they were able to communicate with their family abroad and connect with social supports and external resources. Through our work and the development of partnerships, we have provided access to internet, one-on-one computer tutoring and 135 low cost computers.

We have also made significant investments in skills building for people who are ready to enter the workforce. Our work placement program provided students with an opportunity to practice and learn relevant administrative skills. Our staff shared their knowledge and insight and had the privilege of working with the next generation of skilled and diverse employees. For the 2019-2020 year, we were proud to offer placement opportunities to 11 students who logged over 900 work experience hours.

“MY WORK PLACEMENT AT THE CRC WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE THAT WENT BEYOND PRACTICING ROUTINE ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS. THE STAFF WERE CORDIAL AND PROFESSIONAL, AND EXERCISED TRUE CARE FOR THEIR CLIENTS. I RECOGNIZED HOW TRULY IMPORTANT THE WORK OF THE CENTRE WAS TO THE LIVES OF SO MANY PEOPLE.” -KIM

ANNUAL REPORT 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 2 0 The EarlyON Centre brought families and community together last year to provide children with the tools they need to succeed. Our program provided resources that are culturally reflective of ’s diverse communities and we offered our services in a variety of languages to ensure that families have content that is inclusive and relevant. Our Back to School and Holiday events provided us an opportunity to meet over 1300 persons in the community.

We were able to work with our partners to provide school supplies, backpacks, books and treats for children. We also identified a need to provide information and resources to equip parents to better support their children. We know that engaged parents are critical to student success and we were able to provide materials to support them to be partners in their children’s education. These resources helped parents to move along the path to effectively and confidently engaging with the school system to support academic success.

The year saw our space and services expand to meet the capacity demand within the community. We began to offer our first ever virtual programs and we increased our service hours. In September our grand re-opening event provided an opportunity to share the new look of the EarlyON Centre as well as the enhanced services we provide. Our new space is larger, more accessible and has a hub of parenting resources.

OUR BACK TO SCHOOL AND HOLIDAY EVENTS PROVIDED US AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET OVER 1300 PERSONS IN THE COMMUNITY.

ANNUAL REPORT 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 2 0 The Unity in Diversity: Aging at Home Seniors programs continued to connect seniors with their community through programming that is culturally relevant. We work with agencies to provide participants with services and programs in a variety of languages and an understanding of their cultural contexts. Our work this year focused on fitness, technology and mental health. We engaged with the seniors to help develop an awareness of the ways that they can lead active and engaged lives. Through a series of sessions they were shown safe ways to exercise and keep their bodies moving. They also had the opportunity to participate in art therapy classes. They enjoyed the challenge of creating art andtotal we foundincome that thisit promoted year self- expression, helped to relieve depression and improved their physical/motor skills. Many of our seniors participated in our Building Connections: Communication Technology project. Through this initiative 61 seniors were equipped with the tools required to become proficient users of tablets, laptops, computers and smart phones.

Through collaboration we were able to offer programming in various community locations making it easier for seniors to access services. We worked with our partner organizations to hold 525 sessions throughout the community. We also reached out to seniors who are house bound and unable to come out to programs. These one-to-one telephone supports provided reassurance and lessened the feeling of isolation. We look forward to being an essential part of their lives.

OUR EVALUATION SURVEY INDICATED THAT 82% OF OUR PARTICIPANTS FELT THAT OUR PROGRAMS HAVE IMPROVED THEIR ABILITY TO SOCIALIZE AND BE ENGAGED IN COMMUNITY.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR WE PROVIDED 280 SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES IN OUR VARIOUS COMMUNITY PROGRAMS.

ANNUAL REPORT 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 2 0 In 2019-2020, our Community Development team continued to work with residents, grassroots groups, and other partners to address various systemic issues in the community and advocate for social and economic justice. In total, we reached roughly 30,000 community members through our door-to-door and street outreach. We worked closely with Jane Finch Action Against Poverty (JFAAP) to publish a resident-led report on temporary employment agency work in Jane-Finch.

Permanently Temporary: Labour, Precarity and Resistance in Jane-Finch” is the result of over two years of community organizing and advocacy around temp agency work, including extensive street outreach, interviews with local workers, and a series of “Know Your Rights” workshops. The report documents the stories and challenges of community members who are working in insecure workplaces with little to no rights or benefits. It also includes a series of recommendations aimed at supporting temp agency workers and holding companies, temp agencies, and governments accountable.

With the Jane-Finch neighbourhood facing rapid growth and displacement, we launched Black Creek Fair Economies, a new two-year project aimed at influencing upcoming developments, ensuring community benefits, and improving economic opportunities. This year, we also responded to community emergencies, such as the massive fire at 235 Gosford Boulevard in November 2019, which impacted over 700 residents. Through our work we will continue to work with community input to shape the growth and change.

IN TOTAL, WE REACHED ROUGHLY 30,000 COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH OUR DOOR-TO- DOOR AND STREET OUTREACH.

ANNUAL REPORT 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 2 0 This past year our North West Settlement Integration Services (SIS) has served over 1100 newcomers in our community and held roughly 200 group sessions. We have worked with our participants in navigating Canadian society, preparing for citizenship tests, gaining an education and finding meaningful employment. Our greatest successes have been supporting newcomers as they land their first job in Canada, graduate post- secondary institutions and become reunited with their families. This past year we also continued our many partnerships in the community. This has enabled us to reach residents who access a variety of different services.

We continued to provide English Conversations Circles at Westview Centennial and Emery Collegiate. We also partnered with Working Women Community Centre to support members of the Assyrian community, and continue to partner with the Karen Community of Toronto. As a member of the Toronto West Local Immigration Partnership, we have been able to broaden the scope of our work through active membership on the Service Coordination Working Group.

An exciting endeavor we embarked on this past year, also included working with two community catalysts who were embedded in our agency and conducting research on our outreaching strategies to newcomer communities. This work was a part of the Community Catalyst Partnership with Jobstart. We are excited to implement the insight garnered from this project. In the next year, we will continue to be responsive to our newcomer communities needs especially as they navigate life within a pandemic.

THIS PAST YEAR OUR NORTH WEST SETTLEMENT INTEGRATION SERVICES (SIS) HAS SERVED OVER 1100 NEWCOMERS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND HELD ROUGHLY 200 GROUP SESSIONS.

ANNUAL REPORT 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 2 0 This past year our Youth programs and services grew through new and exciting ventures. We received funding from the City of Toronto and launched a Violence Prevention Project within the Falstaff Community. Weekly, we provided skill-development and social-recreational workshops to youth in the community. These workshops are guided by the Falstaff Youth Council who meet weekly and discuss neighborhood concerns and programming ideas that could respond to the needs of local youth.

Youth also receive guidance from a case worker who supports them in discussing and coping with issues such as gun violence, bereavement and loss, substance misuse and mental health.We also continued to deliver workshops in both and through our Community Healing Project. These workshops were well attended by youth in both communities and our community giveback events continued our engagement efforts and recruitment of future cohorts of community healers.

The Spot Youth Centre continues to be a strong partner to community serving agencies. This year we hosted the More Life workshops series facilitated by For Youth Initiative as part of the Toronto Youth Equity Strategy. We also worked with Heart-to-Heart to facilitate financial literacy and employment readiness trainings to youth looking for employment. Lastly, our Elevated Women Project was geared solely to black women this year allowing them to have a safe space to connect, learn, and develop tools and strategies specific to their needs. This was an indispensable opportunity for us to learn how to develop and facilitate programming through an anti-black racism lens.

IN THE NEXT YEAR, WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR YOUTH WITH STRONGER AWARENESS OF THEIR SHIFTING AND CHANGING NEEDS AND TO RESPOND TO THOSE NEEDS THROUGH CONSCIOUS AND EFFECTIVE PROGRAMMING AND SERVICE DELIVERY.

We hosted a weeklong pop-up in August to test different community ideas for Corner Commons and animating the parking lot. We installed temporary seating and plantings for community members to enjoy throughout the week and held three special events with a range of activities.

OVER 440 PEOPLE VISITED CORNER COMMONS DURING OUR POP-UP EVENTS. THEY DROPPED BY THE SPACE TO PLAY DOMINOES WITH FRIENDS AND STRANGERS, ACCESSED INFORMATION ABOUT LOCAL SERVICES AND ORGANIZATIONS, WATCHED LIVE PERFORMANCES, AND SO MUCH MORE

Through Project BYLD, our new afterschool design/build program, young people also got involved by designing a photo booth for Corner Commons. Through this hands-on project and weekly workshops, over 50 students learned about architecture, urban planning, graphic design, and animation, while building their skills in design programs like SketchUp, Photoshop, and Illustrator. A more permanent installation of Corner Commons will take place in the summer of 2021.

ANNUAL REPORT 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 2 0 Our Centre

The 2019 – 2020 fiscal year was a time of reflection for our organization as our strategic plan came to an end. We began a process of consultation with our stakeholders to help us identify ways to increase our impact and address the vulnerabilities that exist in our community. These intense months have also allowed us to reflect on the value of our services. To do this, we continue to review our practices to ensure that we are reflecting a passion that serves the needs of our residents, a presence to command the attention of key stakeholders, including Agency funders, and a purpose that inspires our clients, our staff and the community to push for more.

The accomplishments of this year can be added to a long line of achievements in the history of this organization:
