OUR STORY
Founded in 2009, Zancana Community Center began as a vision to create a welcoming space for immigrants and families seeking support in Toronto. What started as a small initiative has grown into a thriving community-driven organization dedicated to empowering individuals and strengthening families. Over the years, we have adapted to the evolving needs of our diverse community, ensuring that newcomers and long-time residents alike feel seen, supported, and connected. At the heart of Zancana is our commitment to preserving cultural heritage while embracing new beginnings. Guided by a dedicated board of directors, we have partnered with the Abu Ubaydah Islamic Center to expand our offerings, providing vital resources that span from spiritual guidance to social support and educational programs. Our services include youth engagement, family counseling, wellness initiatives, and community events that foster unity and resilience.
Today, Zancana stands as more than a community center; we are a family bound by shared values and a common goal—to help every individual and family thrive. Our story is one of growth, compassion, and dedication, and we look forward to writing the next chapter together with you.
