Community Service Centre

UCP’s Community Service Centre is a dynamic place where people with and without disabilities meet, interact, and share common interests. Throughout the year, the Centre hosts support groups, community meetings, and non-profit programs.

The Centre has several meeting areas which can accommodate between 6 and 75 people.

• Meeting spaces are fully accessible and the building is equipped with accessible bathrooms.
• There is a large parking lot on the premises.
• A full-service kitchen is available, as well as TVs, VCRs, slide and overhead projectors, and PA systems.
• Staff is on hand for security and maintenance, including setting up meeting spaces and clean up.

The Centre is available for regular meetings as well as one-time events. The cost for use of the Centre varies depending on the scope of the request and the financial resources of the requesting party. The Centre hosts regular meetings of several support groups, including Alcoholic’s Anonymous, Gambler's Anonymous, GLSEN, and Women with Disabilities. Community meetings are also held at the Centre, such as candidate election nights, fourth ward democratic chair meetings, and PAT Transit meetings. Other non-profit organizations, such as the Three Rivers Community Foundation and Consumer Health Coalition, meet at the Centre.

The Centre serves as a United Way Good Neighbors Internet access sight. Visitors can use this interactive sight to search for local volunteer opportunities. A computer lab with Internet access is also available for training or demonstrations.

We have been using the Centre for a long time, and it's a great facility. The location is central to the bus line, and to anywhere in the city. It's very easy to get to. The staff is so cooperative and always on the ball. Vending machines, restrooms and the kitchen are all easily accessible. We use the large room for lectures and then three or four smaller breakout rooms for groups. Everything works for us!

We very much appreciate having the Centre open to us on a weekly basis. UCP is gracious and generous, and we are made to feel very much at home. As a result a lot of people are being helped. We feel welcome and wanted.
