Our first location opens downtown, launching our legacy of service to newcomers in Canada. 1981 Kababayan joins the opposition to the Klu Klux Klan in Parkdale, where the white supremacist organization has opened a Canadian branch. Following a grassroots advocacy campaign led by community partners, including Kababayan, the KKK branch disbands. 1985-88 KMC’s first efforts to combat violence against women, particularly migrant care workers, begin. In collaboration with the Network of Filipino-Canadian Women, we release two research publications on the subject, “Mail Order Brides: To Honor and Obey,” and “From Fright to Flight.” 1990 Kababayan begins offering programs specifically targeted to address the needs of youth, women, and seniors. Throughout the 90s, KMC hosts summer camps specifically for these groups, offering opportunities for bonding and recreation in a safe and welcoming space. 1993 After incidents of racial profiling against Filipino teenagers, Kababayan forms the Task Force to Stop Racism at Scarborough Town Centre, leading over 100 other organizations in a successful effort to repeal discriminatory policies. We produce the play “Mall Fright” to document the incidents. 2000 KMC establishes the “Creating Access to Regulated Employment (CARE) for Nurses” project in partnership with WoodGreen Community Services, St. Michael’s Hospital and the Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care, funded by the MayTree Foundation. This project helps hundreds of internationally-trained nurses start practicing in Ontario. 2005 We establish the Kababayan Caregiver Network to support the specific needs of live-in caregivers and other newcomer care workers. In addition to skill-building workshops and individual counselling, we host plenty of social activities to combat social isolation. 2013 To reflect our commitment to being inclusive and welcoming to all, our operating name is changed to Kababayan Multicultural Centre and our second location opens in North York, expanding our ability to offer programs and services to newcomers city-wide. 2020 As the pandemic restricts in-person activities, we begin offering our services virtually. Both our group and individual services are available online from this year onward, which allows us to reach a wider range of clients. 2022 In 2022, we celebrate our 45th anniversary and significantly expanded our staff, enabling us to reach and assist even more community members. Since then, we have welcomed thousands of newcomers to Canada, providing them with vital information and services to help them thrive.

Through the "Seniors Leading Change" project, we offer services for racialized and newcomer seniors through settlement workshops, social connection activities mentoring opportunities and sharing of journeys through digital platforms. Seniors Leading Change CORE SERVICES Settlement Services Employment Services Youth Services Seniors' Services Women's Services OTHER PROGRAMS Youth Mentorship Program Furniture Bank CLEAResult Partnership Renewed Computer Technology Through the help of the Employment and Social Development Canada's New Horizons for Seniors grant , KMC’s Seniors Leading Change Project is made possible as it aims to foster inclusion for racialized and newcomer seniors in Toronto. Canada is witnessing a rapid rise in immigration, specifically among seniors who arrived in the country through family reunification programs. In 2022 alone, we welcomed 27,255 permanent residents through the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP), contributing to what is now 30% of Canada’s senior population. In GTA, nearly two-thirds of the seniors are immigrants, leading to a great diversity among them, which may introduce an elevated risk of social isolation due to challenges such as language barriers, generational gaps, and cultural differences. This project aims to address these issues by providing seniors with opportunities to build connections and a sense of belongingness with Canadian society, help raise awareness of the challenges faced by newcomer seniors along with practical advice from established seniors, and the opportunity for our volunteer established seniors to play an active role in mentoring and guiding newcomers. What does KMC offer through this project? Settlement Workshops for Newcomer Seniors We offer a series of workshops for newcomer seniors that cover key settlement topics in Canada, including housing, income support and benefits, healthcare services, transportation, and senior-specific programs and services. Mentoring Opportunities: Established Seniors Empowering Newcomers Inspired by the established seniors' desire to play an active role in helping newcomers, we offer mentoring opportunities between established seniors and newcomers of all ages. Seniors possess decades of experience and wisdom in various aspects of life, allowing them to provide valuable insight and guidance on career paths, entrepreneurship, social engagement, relationships, and adapting to the new life here in Canada. Seniors’ Voices Through Digital Stories Promoting the inclusion of the newcomer senior into Canadian society, through this, we encourage seniors to share their journeys and experiences using short-form videos. They will be actively collaborating with creative professionals to ensure proper representation of their stories through these videos, which are then shared on different digital platforms to reach a broader audience. Through this project, we aim to support the inclusion of racialized and newcomer seniors by prioritizing their smooth integration, promoting healthy aging, and celebrating diversity.
