About the Tamil Community Centre:

For close to a decade the community has been making moves toward the creation of a community centre to address the gap in services available to them. In July, the Government of Canada said it will be investing over $14.3 million in the project through the Community, Culture and Recreation Infrastructure Stream (CCRIS) of the Investing in Canada plan. The Government of Ontario is providing more than $11.9 million, while the Tamil Community Centre is contributing over $9.6 million. The City of Toronto has contributed land valued at $25 million to the project in the form of a long-term land lease at a minimal cost of $1 plus HST in annual rent.
