The Ukrainian Cultural Centre of Toronto is located at 83-85 Christie St., Toronto, Ontario, Canada and has been the host of many Ukrainian events. "Christie", as the building has been dubbed, has been the heart of the Ukrainian community in the Greater Toronto Area, bringing together people with a common culture and important ideas. The Centre is where the heritage has been kept alive.
The Ukrainian Cultural Centre consists of a large and a small banquet hall, concert stage, full kitchen, rehearsal spaces, classrooms, library, cafeteria, nightclub, offices and a gymnasium. The Centre is home to the main offices of both, the weekly Ukrainian language national newspaper HOMIN UKRAINY (Ukrainian Echo) and the Ukrainian Youth Association of Canada. Both these institutions were founded in 1948 by Ukrainian immigrants to Canada.
The Centre offers ESL/LINC classes for newcomers and immigrants to Canada.

“At times it seems that the media have become the mainstream culture in children’s lives. Parents have become the alternative. Americans once expected parents to raise their children in accordance with the dominant cultural messages. Today they are expected to raise their children in opposition to it.”
—Ellen Goodman (20th century)
“Go anywhere in England where there are natural, wholesome, contented, and really nice English people; and what do you always find? That the stables are the real centre of the household.”
