Alexandra Centre Society

A Heritage of People Meeting People

The Alexandra Centre Society has over 30 years of history developing and sponsoring a variety of community services, programs, and partnerships.

In 1973 the communities of Inglewood and Ramsay were designated a Neighborhood Improvement Program area (N. I. P). With the funds allotted the main project was the restoration of the old Alexandra School building. The purpose of the project was to create a space to house community services and programs. Despite the fact that the City Administration was trying to have the building condemned, the residents of Inglewood and Ramsay, in partnership with the late Jack Long, a local architect, fought to have it restored. Volunteers spent three years planning the renovation; the shortage of funds was supplemented by more than 1000 hours of volunteer time.

Ever since that time the Alexandra Centre has been a hub of community services, under the guidance of the Alexandra Centre Society and its volunteer board of directors.

Community volunteers are the heart and soul of the Alexandra Centre's culture of vibrant community life.

In keeping with our philosophy of A Heritage Of People Meeting People the Alexandra Centre Society believes in the value of face to face integration and celebration. We are all proud of past relationships and enriched by future ones. The Alexandra Centre Society continues to partner with non-profit service providers to deliver services and programs that benefit our local communities.

The Alexandra Centre Society has been dedicated to community service since 1975. We are primarily a volunteer organization led by a Board of Directors, all of whom live in our service areas of Inglewood, Ramsay, Belt line Victoria Park, and East Village. Responding to the needs of our communities is our priority. Email us anytime with suggestions that you feel the community is in need of, we would love to hear from you!
