Carnegie Community Centre — often referred to as the living room of the Downtown Eastside — provides social, educational, cultural, and recreational activities on-site, at nearby Oppenheimer Park, and through an outreach team.
The programs serve low income adults with the goal of nurturing mind, body, and spirit in a safe and welcoming environment.
What’s happening
The field house at Oppenheimer Park is closed until further notice. Everyone is welcome at Carnegie Community Centre where programs and services are going ahead as usual.
