For 50 years, our community has been built on care, connection, and hope. As part of our Dreaming Forward anniversary series, we’re sharing the dreams of the people who make our work possible.

This Black History Month, we’re honoured to share Frank Crichlow’s dream.

Frank is a passionate community health worker who believes deeply in the power of relationships and healing. He reminds us that the work is always evolving — and so are the needs of our community.

His dream:
“To have programs and services for the Arican, Caribbean and Black (ACB) community. Also, we need to have an ACB doctor or nurse practitioner and social worker to address our issues.”

When 63% of our clients are racialized, representation matters. Culturally responsive care matters. Addressing anti-Black racism in healthcare matters.

As we celebrate 50 years, we continue dreaming of a future where everyone can access care that reflects who they are and what they need.

“I wish the food program was throughout the week.” – Elton, long-term client

As part of our 50th anniversary celebration, we’re sharing dreams from the people who make our community so special.

Elton ( ) has been part of our kitchen and community meal programs, where seniors gather to cook, share cultural dishes, and enjoy delicious, nutritious meals together. These programs foster belonging, celebrate diversity, and provide healthy, affordable food for vulnerable community members.

Last year, 4,654 drop-in meals were served at our Harmony Community Food Centre.

Elton’s dream for the future?
· Expanding programs to more days
· Welcoming even more participants
· Creating opportunities for youth to teach seniors computer skills

That’s what Dreaming Forward is all about — building on 50 years of hope, care, and community to shape what’s possible next.

Happy 50th anniversary. And thank you, Elton, for sharing your vision at our Caribbean-style community meal in celebration of Black History Month — and dreaming with us!

💭➡️ Dreaming Forward: A Community Built on Love and Care

As part of our 50th anniversary, we’re sharing weekly dreams and reflections from the people who make our organization what it is.

This week, we’re honoured to share a dream from one of our harm reduction workers for mental health and substance use:
“I dream of love and care. I dream of a healthy successful family. [The organization] being the best at primary health care – access to love, care, and healthy living.”
- Joyce Nalwanga, Harm Reduction Worker

During Black History Month, this dream reminds us that health is about more than medical care — it’s about dignity, belonging, and the ability for families to thrive. With 50% of our staff and 66% of our clients identifying as Black, Indigenous, or People of Colour, representation and culturally grounded care are central to what’s possible.

For 50 years, we’ve been dreaming forward — and we’re just getting started.

Celebrating 50 years of hope, care, and community — and Dreaming Forward.

“My dream is that we can all unite and STAND TALL together. Help each other fulfill our dreams too!!” – Travis, SRCHC client

Last year, 15,400+ people came through SRCHC’s doors, accessing team-based care and 171 community programs — 46% more programs than the year before.

Travis shared this dream at our recent Live Band Karaoke event and community meal, while also serenading everyone with a lively rendition of Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler. His dream is a joyful reminder that when we stand together and lift each other up, anything is possible.

Thank you, Travis, for helping us keep Dreaming Forward. 💭➡️

SRCHC Dreaming Forward 💭➡️

“I dream of a future where everyone who walks through the doors at Harmony Community Food Centre can access nourishing and delicious food in ways that feel warm, welcoming, dignified, and respectful. I dream of Harmony CFC as continued place for sharing meals, group cooking, building community, and learning together. A place that supports people connect to food, to culture, to land, to themselves, and to one another.

I dream of more opportunities to grow, cook, share, and learn together. I dream of Harmony CFC as a place for people to gather around the table, and a place for people to connect to others, to themselves, to healthcare, and to other essential services. A warm meal is the starting place.”

— Sarah Clement, Health Promoter, Harmony Community Food Centre
