The East Scarborough Storefront was honoured to host a group of students from Singapore during their recent visit to Toronto. Together, we shared the history of Storefront, explored our Connected Community Approach, and engaged in a live-action game at Lovely Acres that encouraged participants to reflect on power, relationships, and decision-making within communities. Through these experiences, students exchanged ideas, built meaningful connections, and gained new perspectives on community leadership and collective impact.
East Scarborough Storefront
The Storefront, a Makeway Charitable Society project, is a community hub in East Scarborough Ontario.
Yesterday, the Storefront staff and steering committee members were honoured to witness the launch of Indigenous House of Unity Toronto Scarborough. It was an incredible experience, and we are so excited to witness this historic moment.
We look forward to continuing to partner, learn, and grow alongside Indigenous communities as we work together toward a stronger and more connected future.

Have a great long weekend!
Community is built by people who show up, give back, and lift others along the way and it was Storefront's time to say thank you and celebrate the volunteers whose dedication turns smalls acts into lasting change.
We had a wonderful celebration at the Clarke Centre
Thank you for being the heart of it all.
