Cultural & Community Centre

A hub where all can dream, thrive, and find joy through collective action

Located on Beaumont Avenue in Parc-Extension, our centre supports a wide range of activities and programs organized by Brique par Brique and other citywide groups dedicated to social and transformative justice. The center, housed in a duplex that we own, includes an accessible event space on the ground floor and workspaces on the second floor.

As a key part of our mission, the center offers a common ground for expression, collaboration, and growth. We focus on programing that inspires, heals, and empowers—open to all, but thoughtfully curated with the needs and aspirations of local residents in mind. By hosting diverse community activities and cultural events, we aim to build bridges between people and organizations while nurturing the talents of individuals in and beyond Parc-Extension.
