Since 1999
Jane Alliance Neighbourhood Services (JANS) is a multi-service, community-based registered charity serving newcomers, seniors, youth and women — rooted in Mount Dennis, open to every neighbour in Toronto.
Who we are
For more than two decades, JANS has provided high-quality services in the Rockcliffe-Smythe neighbourhood and surrounding areas. Located in one of Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods, JANS serves clients from diverse backgrounds in a non-discriminatory approach.
Our focus
JANS promotes quality of life, social justice, accessibility and community development for underserved communities in the Mount Dennis area and beyond. Our programs create a friendly, safe environment where newcomers and neighbours support each other, learn from each other, and act together as responsible citizens for a more compassionate society.
Our commitment
We offer services without discrimination based on gender, cultural background, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion or place of origin — as enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and required by the Ontario Human Rights Code.
