As the city filed it
West Scarborough Neighbourhood Community Centre has been the hub of the West Scarborough Community since 1956 when it was first initiated as the West Scarborough Boys Club by the Scarborough Civitan Service. The organization operates out of the City-owned facility at 313 Pharmacy Avenue, which was established in 1966. West Scarborough Neighbourhood Community Centre offers neighbourhood programs and services designed to enhance the well-being of people in the context of their community, culture and environment.

The Centre offers: children's, youth and seniors' programs; aquatics programs; and employment programs. Corporate Real Estate Management identified the need for accessibility improvements to the building at 313 Pharmacy Avenue, and the facility will be under construction for state-of-good-repair work for approximately one year. As a result, many of the programs run by West Scarborough Neighbourhood Community Centre will need to be relocated in order to accommodate the needs of the community. Recognizing the existing nominal agreement in place for their operations, this Motion recommends that City Council waive permit fees, in order for West Scarborough Neighbourhood Community Centre to continue operations for their aquatic, youth and seniors' programming at alternative sites (Birchmount Community Centre, Warden Hilltop Community Centre, Oakridge Community Centre, and any other Community Centres as may be approved by the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation) until construction at 313 Pharmacy Avenue is complete.
