We are located near the corner of Oakwood Avenue and Vaughan Road. In broad terms, that’s a few blocks south east of Eglinton Ave and Dufferin St. [Map]
Our building is under construction and is not yet open to members or to the public. We plan to open for Sunday services and community rentals in early 2025. Exciting!
