Today, on Remembrance Day, we remember and honor the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who served to protect the freedoms we cherish. ❤️ We invite our West Scarborough community to pause, reflect, and hold dear the values they fought to uphold. Let’s honor their memory by working together to create a future grounded in peace and respect. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. #remembranceday2024 #lestweforget🌹 #wsncc

Seniors at West Scarborough celebrate St.Patrick's Day …. Great food and Entertainment … thanks for joining us, we are still searching for that pot of gold! #WeAreWestScarborough #Luncheon  #Scarborough #Toronto #CommunityCentres #ScarboroughTO

Please be advised that the West Scarborough Neighbourhood Community Centre’s programs and services will be closed effective March 14th, until further notice. We have been carefully monitoring this situation and due to the recent announcement to close TDSB schools and permits, as well as from the City of Toronto to close all community centres and other facilities, we have made the decision to close our doors. For families who have registered for spring or March Break programs, we will provide you with information about how we will refund, postpone and credit programs affected by this closure. We ask our members to please take extra precautions to take care of yourselves and each other during this time. We ask for your understanding and patience with this matter and please let us know if you have any questions or concerns over this period. WSNCC Management
