Villeray District

2021 Resources guide 

The CDC Solidarités Villeray has produced a guide to resources in the Villeray district in 2021. This tool was designed to identify and bring together the various resources in the neighborhood that help people who may encounter difficulties at some point.

Divided into several main themes, the guide presents more than 40 community and public organizations that respond to various needs. A map of the locations of organizations and institutions is provided at the end of the guide.

What’s more, the guide is available in seven languages: English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Creole, Vietnamese and Italian.
