From this study work, the Central Etobicoke Community Hub Initiative (CECHI) has formed into an organization which supports planning for a community hub. The proposed solution would address long-standing deficits including local space needs and service gaps in Central Etobicoke. This essential access point will enable youth, seniors, newcomers, individuals living alone, and families to interact and become fully engaged, healthy, socially included, and active residents. It will make it easier for local residents to access the health, social, cultural, recreational and other resources they need, together in one place. Information on The CECHI is available here: http://etobicokehub.org/index.html
