First Portuguese Canadian Cultural Centre of Toronto
First Portuguese Canadian Cultural Centre of Toronto is a non-profit
organization and a registered charity. We have our roots and history in the
Portuguese community as a place where new-comers to Canada are helped to
assimilate. At the beginning of our organization’s history (in 1956) we were the
center of the Portuguese Community as a gathering place, a second home away from
home. Now, we serve the Portuguese community with the same passion and fervor,
focusing on those most vulnerable amongst us, children and seniors. We do no
limit our activities to the Portuguese community and our doors are open to
everyone.
