Guyana Community House (Toronto) is an organized effort to create an affordable housing cooperative and community centre for the Guyanese Canadian community in the Greater Toronto Area.  

There are over 200,000 Guyanese-Canadians, with the vast majority of them living in the Greater Toronto Area. 

Inspired by the efforts of other ethnocultural communities, our project aims to bring the Guyanese-Canadian community together in a space that would provide affordable housing and social services to those who need it (seniors, single-parent households, new immigrants, etc.) and establish a community centre to serve our cultural and social needs.

Guyana Community House (Toronto) is organized by a diverse group of volunteers from the Guyanese-Canadian diaspora. If you are interested in getting involved, please message us or send an email to Info@guyanacommunityhouse.com

Stage 1: Visioning [COMPLETE]
Our organization secured funding to host community consultations

These include the cost of community consultations, research/design studies, and a series of community-based focus groups to determine how best to allocate and design these units to their respective communities (i.e. seniors, newcomers/refugees….), and any amenity and commercial spaces. 

The GCH aims to launch the Solutions Lab design and research initiative by July 1, 2022 for a term of eighteen (18) months, concluding December 30, 2023.
