Home for the West to Meet the East, The Past to Meet the Future
The Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto (CCC)
is a non-profit, non-political organization
with an objective to build a Chinese cultural centre for residents of the Greater Toronto area.
With its grand opening on May 2, 1998,
the centre is part of a multi-purpose community complex
located at the south east corner
of Sheppard Avenue East and Progress Avenue in Scarborough.
The CCC consists of two phases:
Phase I is the CCC building with an art gallery,
computerised resource centre,
reading room,
boardroom, studios, and classrooms.
The second phase includes
a 600-seat state-of-the-art theatre
and a 8500-square-foot multi-purpose hall for sports and recreational activities, conventions, trade shows, and banquets.
The Centre is the largest Chinese cultural centre in North America.
Next to it is the Burrows Hall Public Library.
The Chinese Cultural Centre will act
as a bridge between the Chinese Canadian community and other communities,
so that there is a place to promote the understanding of both the Chinese Culture and traditions,
and other cultures and traditions.
Through referrals and exchanges,
the Centre will help facilitate exciting trading opportunities
and strengthen the ties between the Canadian and the Far East markets.
CCC will be closed on May 21, 2012 (Monday) for the Victoria Day public holiday. Please make sure to return items borrowed from the Richard Charles Lee Resource Centre in time to avoid fines.
