Tyndale St-Georges Community Centre

The Tyndale St-Georges Community Centre traces its roots to 1926, when industrialist Charles Johnson, a man with a social conscience wanted to help employees and their families. He approached the Montreal Presbyterian community with his plan for a ''settlement house'' to keep the children off the streets. In the 1970s the Anglican Diocese of Montreal joined The Presbyterian Church in Canada in support of Tyndale which then became known as Tyndale St-Georges. From the outset, Tyndale House focused on services for youth. It has never lost that emphasis, while broadening its sphere of activities to meet the needs of the surrounding community.

The Center has been instrumental in the creation of offshoot services including Le Garde-Manger pour tous food bank, Youth in Motion, the Little Burgundy Counvil, the Coalition de la Petite-Bourgogne, the Little Burgundy Festival, Action Refugee Montreal and most recently the CPE Tyndale St-Georges, a subsidized daycare centre. Tyndale St-Georges continues to operate as a not-for-profit charitable organization, providing services to tht Little Burgundy community through programs extending from pre-school to adult development without regard to race or religious affiliation. Through educational, cultural, social and recreational programs, Tyndale St-Georges provides encouragement, tools, opportunities, and support to more than 2, 000 people every year.
