An eighth hub in Scarboroughs Steeles-L Amoureaux neighbourhood is planned for the future, according to The Star. The genesis for the centres was the United Ways Building Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy, which grew from the agencys groundbreaking 2004 report Poverty by Postal Code and Most downtowners dont know about them, but community hubs backed by the United Way have turned into bustling, vibrant focal points in Torontos inner suburbs.
