Our Unique Model
RTCC is one of ten hybrid-governed community centres (“AOCCs”) across Toronto. As City of Toronto Agencies, we receive core funding from the City, while our Programs and Services are funded and governed by a community Board of Management.
Land Acknowledgement
The Ralph Thornton Community Centre is located on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
Our neighbourhood is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands— Treaty 13 was disputed for over 200 years until 2010.
