The 519 Church Street Community Centre, Toronto, ON Review

This is a beautiful place that helps the community, has an awesome coffee shop and host events. I attended and event there and did some volunteer works for these kind people. Also had the best latte of my life there.

I am drawn towards the vigil, the name of my partner engraved a third of the way down on 2008 plaque. It is a difficult reminder that we are NOT invincible. I miss you baby

Been going here since 2012 and it's a good place. Monday night drop in has good food but there's pretty strict policies about when you can go up for food. I don't really go to the wednesday night peer support groups anymore but they were really helpful when I was first coming out

Don't even bother going her in need of information or any type of help if you are a senior. Ageism is rampant at this community centre.

Very inclusive place, that caters to different people from different backgrounds, ethnicity, sexual orientation/preference, and gender identity. There are different programs as well for these mentioned groups.

Come on, it's the 519, pillar of the community. Vital community agency.

Good place for LGBT people very respectful and caring staff

The Fab @ 519

Bright modern clean positive vibe at the fabulous Fabernak restaurant inside the renovated lgbtq center. Shared tables with bar height seats, mixed with regular tables, bright spot lights and all glass front and side for street viewing, fast service and tasty meals (tasted a fat burrito with beans and scrambled eggs and salsa $8 + tax). This is one of the few day out open spaces for the lgbtq crowd to hang out in a group, date for two or go solo. Drop by and check it out! It is only open until 4:00 pm.

Note: be careful, beans have a similar after effect as fiber bran, oatmeal, etc

The place is very bright and spacious. Lots of meetings, gatherings, and support groups gather here. It's heartwarming. If you're here for whatever reason, the reception will be more than happy to help, and there's also a screen showing what room each event is taking place in.

Fantastic place for drop in toddler class. Every Tues to Fri , 10 am to 1pm. There's a slight structure to the session with free play to start with , story time, snack time, song circle and the back to free play. It's free to join. Great place to meet other mums and dads and kids to hang out. Suited for age 0-5 years.

I went in needing to talk to someone; it was clear I was in distress. They turned me away.

Nice park in the daytime but stay far away at night ita not safe!!

Great event space (the red dress ball was a blast) and an outstanding pillar of required and sought after services serving those in need within the LGBTQ community. Will be planning a visit very soon to volunteer my services. Everyone who can should do so!

And very helpful Community Center in the heart of the gay Village offering help to the LGBT

Nice space to rent out. Judgement free zone. It even has all gender washrooms

Great people and helpful ,LGTB Toronto world knows about this place , go there to know about local events

Sharing and being in a comfort zone. Safe place to relate.

This organization delivers vital services to the community. Thank you for all the important work you do.

Great community centre serving the LGBTQ2S communities.

This place does amazing things for the LGBT community

Great meeting place in the heart of the Gay Village

So absolutely welcoming. Check the calendar on the website to see what is going on daily. If you are part of the LGBTQ2S community and you live in the GTA check out 519.

A fantastic resource for queer people in Toronto. I spent time there during Pride, and they ran great events and offered a perfect meeting spot. They run a lot of programs for queer people that are worth checking out

Amazing workers lovely staff friendly kind helpful safe place

A gem of the community. This place offers many community services and programs with a focus on LGBTQ2S+. They also have spaces people can use for community events, and a restaurant. An essential service.

A wonderful place and absolutely suited for what we needed

Excellent support services and programs here. A true asset to the community.

Outstanding resource , I attend the "Toronto Gay Fathers.
Also a very clean establishment

Safe place and services for not only the LGBT2Q community but also for new comers and the homeless.

Great to see and meet new people and grab a bit to eat and a coffee,tea juice .

All sorts of services and resources offered here for the local community. A centre for the LGBTQ.

This place was bomb! No cover and one of the best pride events in town. It was great music and great people

Excellent community center serving the LGBTQ2 community that does tons of great charitable work and hosts many events to aid the community

Great place for helping the community skip. Very clean very spacious quite lovely

The 519 is warm n welcoming, it's D perfect positive space

Came in by accident to the early on centre. And what a happy accident it was! Friendly staff and great programming felt welcome with my child right away. We will be making many trips in the future!

A wonderful organization doing a lot of great work in the community. Hosts the best events during Pride, too.

Meals - a necessity, but you can always contribute to the community too by supporting socially-responsible restaurants. The price tag may even be lower than your higher - end ones!

Today, I'm supporting Farbarnak, (Toronto, Canada) which uses locally-produced ingredients. All profits go back into the community and their staff all are less fortunate than the average man. There's even a mealshare programme!

I appreciate they made me lunch when it's not even time yet! I came too early!

Premier GLBTIQ2S organization. Amazing support for its community.

Awesome e life drawing sessions. This place has plenty to offer and a great staple in the community.

Really nice staff. Very welcoming. Large spaces for meetings. Paid I'd clinic is there also, etc

Great, open minded, no discrimination. Friendly LGBQT friendly park and comunity center.

A good place to have you conference for 100-159 people. They also have a cafe downstairs if you find the the coffee during the conference not quite successful to keep you awake.

Its a great centre for the LGBTQ community to access social resources that could be costly, however due to the epidemic of Crystal Meth its reputation can be at times sketchy
