Location
In April 2019, TCC began discussions with the City of Toronto and CreateTO, the City’s real estate agency, to identify a suitable site for the project. In October 2020, Toronto City Council voted unanimously in support of 311 Staines Road as the future site of the TCC. At 16,722 square metres or 4.13 acres, the land is valued at approximately $25 million. The land is centrally located in relation to the highest concentration of Tamil residents in the GTA. A land lease was finalized between the City and TCC in 2021 with annual rent of $1 dollar plus HST.
Funding
In July 2021, the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario announced $26.3 million in funding for the construction of the Tamil Community Centre through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. The remaining costs of construction will be fundraised by the Tamil community.
