A federally-registered Canadian charity founded in 2002, Parya Trillium Foundation was created based on a heartfelt need in our community. From the start, the vision has been to provide facilities and services to our community to better integrate with and contribute to Canadian society as active citizens. Today, Parya Trillium Foundation is a dynamic and vibrant community-owned centre with a large, multi-purpose facility where we are currently running several programs and services for individuals across the GTA. At Parya, we are committed to empowering communities all across the GTA to feel they have somewhere to go to access excellent services, interact with their peers and ultimately become active citizens in their new home. Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming space to meet the social and cultural needs of our community with a special focus on providing programs and services to newcomers, youth, and seniors. We aim to strengthen the capacity of our community through education, social integration, community development and newcomer services.

Our founders are the United Way of Toronto, the Ministry of Labour and Youth, and RBC of Canada.
