The Cross-Cultural Community Services Association was founded in 1973 to serve the Toronto Chinese community, became a registered charity in 1976, and changed its name in 2007 to reflect a broader cross-cultural mandate. It provides services like counseling, information workshops, and fact sheets to help newcomers adapt to Canadian life and build stronger communities. The organization has a vision of facilitating community well-being through social services and a mission of assisting newcomers and Canadians.
