Drop In Health and Wellness

Christie Ossington Neighbourhood Centre is dedicated to improving the wellbeing of our clients, particularly vulnerable populations such as Toronto's homeless population. Over the years, CONC has pioneered innovative recreational programming for our community, bringing together youth, volunteers, athletes and instructors to engage clients in the meaningful development of their health and awareness of issues that affect their wellbeing.
