Toronto will be home to the first Canadian Centre for Men and Families! The Canadian Association for Equality today announces success in reaching its primary fundraising goal of $50,000. We want to expresses our gratitude to the hundreds of contributors who rose to the challenge to be part of something truly unique. Men and women from across Canada – and beyond – stepped up to ensure this project’s success, despite overwhelming challenges. We’ve faced opponents spreading hate and misinformation, law-breaking and dangerous protests, and special security fees to guarantee our right to speak freely at our own public events.
The “Men’s Centre” project will not threaten but will compliment important existing efforts at gender equality by tackling disregarded areas like violence against men, the emerging educational crises for boys, and the anti-father bias in family courts. The considerable opposition to the project and the even larger outpouring of support signal the urgent need for a safe space to offer education, research, advocacy and social services for boys, men and families.

About the Campaign
The Canadian Centre for Men and Families will be an unprecedented Toronto establishment. The mission of the Canadian Centre for Men and Families is to establish a space in Toronto that will provide services, research, outreach and public education on all aspects of issues related to boys, fathers, men and families through a network of community groups across the country dedicated to creating a better future for our sons and daughters through mutual understanding and compassion. To make this a reality, we need your help! Join the conversation on twitter @equalitycanada #CanadianCMF
