Driven by the desire to increase access and abolish shame, CIHC recognizes that abortion is not merely permissible under the law, but essential, important, positive, and powerful. We first opened our doors in 1988 and are now a licensed non-profit clinic with a community-based board of directors. We are regulated as an Out-of-Hospital Premises by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. We are also a member of the National Abortion Federation (NAF) and adhere to their standards for abortion care. 

For 30+ years we've continued to push into new frontiers; adapting to the world around us and responding to your changing needs for abortion services. Pregnant people face many invisible barriers, and we are here to identify and remove them. We support clients who don't have OHIP cards access abortion services as well we provide low-income clients with transportation support and childcare so that they can access the abortions they need.
