A Place to Belong in the Heart of Collingwood
Collingwood Neighbourhood House (CNH) — operating across Belgium Avenue and Hoddle Street — is a grassroots community centre serving the vibrant and diverse residents of Collingwood and North Richmond.
We believe everyone deserves connection, learning, and a sense of belonging. Our programs are resident-led, culturally responsive, and always free or low-cost — removing barriers so anyone can walk through our doors.
From arts and crafts to adult education, cultural cooking, Tai Chi, and community choirs — there is something here for every age, every background, and every stage of life.
