After 30 years of being a support and advocate for Riverdale residents and a cool place in the neighbourhood we are having a Birthday Party!

This Saturday Oct 22, form 1:00 to 5:00 pm come celebrate with us and help us raise a little money for our programs and the many people we serve.  We’ll have lots of fun activities for children all afternoon.  And while the kids are playing  adults can enjoy a cash bar, a great silent auction, music and entertainment.  And there’ll be cake  for everyone!  Come eat, drink, support the Centre’s work and have tons of fun at our exciting 30th!

We welcome newcomer children from the Chinese community to participate in our summer camp! Fun and creative activities are planned to help the children develop their language and social skills. We have 3 two-week sessions, running from Monday to Thursday, 1:00 to 4:00pm.

Session 1: July 4 to July 14
Session 2: July 18 to July 28
Session 3: August 2 to August 11

On Tuesday, April 20, 2010, Ralph Thornton Centre volunteers were treated to a fun night of dinner and games. This is just one of the many ways we show our great appreciation to all our hardworking and dedicated volunteers. They make RTC a great place to be! Our After School Program and the Computer Resource Centre are staffed every day with wonderful people who donate their time to make this neighbourhood a better place.

Take a moment to say thanks if you pass by one of our invaluable volunteers.
If you would like to volunteer for the Ralph Thornton Centre, simply drop by and fill out a Volunteer Application Form by the third floor reception desk.

Our doors face Queen Street, directly beside the Saulter St. Public Library.  When you walk in, you may wonder if you’ve come to the right place.

Don’t worry, our entrance can be deceiving.  Just grab the elevator or walk up the stairs to the 3rd floor.  Here you can meet our staff members and see some of the groups and activities that bring the Centre to life.

You will also find some information on community issues and a schedule of what’s going on.  Please do not hesitate to ask questions or request a tour.  We’ll be more than happy to show you around.

There are many ways to get involved with the Ralph Thornton Centre!
