Projects
At the Social Planning Council of York Region (SPCYR), we are dedicated to fostering a more equitable and just community through our diverse range of projects. Our mission is to address systemic inequalities, advocate for social justice, and promote the well-being of all residents in York Region.
Our projects span various areas, including affordable housing, food security, community engagement, and social policy research. Each initiative is designed to tackle pressing social issues and create lasting positive change. By collaborating with community partners, government agencies, and local organizations, we strive to build a more inclusive and resilient community.
Whether you are a resident looking to get involved, a partner seeking collaboration opportunities, or simply interested in learning more about our work, this page provides an overview of our current and past projects. We invite you to explore our initiatives, read our reports, and join us in our efforts to make York Region a better place for everyone.
We would like to start by acknowledging that we are on the traditional territories of the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe peoples, whose presence here continues to this day. We would also like to acknowledge the land we are on is at the meeting place of two treaties, the lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit and those of the First Nations of the Williams Treaty. We would also like to acknowledge the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation as our closest community. We would thank them and other Indigenous peoples for sharing this land with us.
We acknowledge this land and people because the first step to reconciliation is recognizing the existence of Indigenous people. A shared understanding of how our collective past brought us to where we are today will help us walk together into a better future.
