About this Event

In the late 1970’s, author and philanthropist June Callwood chaired a Task Force that surveyed and evaluated services in Toronto for pregnant teenagers. The major conclusion of the report was that programs and resources for young parents 18 and under were few and far between. Inspired by the Task Force’s findings, June gathered friends and colleagues and established Jessie’s Centre for Teenagers in 1982.

After ten years with a small staff at Queen and Bathurst, June pulled support from the public and private sector as well as individual donors, to fund the building we now call home. Purpose built at Queen and Parliament in the heart of Regent Park, this spacious and light-filled six-storey building runs programming on the first two floors and provides subsidized housing to 16 young families on the other four.

Though June passed away in 2007, her legacy of work for women and families in Toronto lives on.
