Our Story

In 1983, Doreen Fraser and Ida Zifkin established a Centre for the senior members of the community to gather for a meal, enjoy each other’s company, and organize social activities. In honour of the royal visit of Prince Charles and Princess Diana Spencer on June 14, 1983, the Centre was aptly named Spencer House. The royal couple actually drove Morris Street and passed Spencer House as the senior members, and the children of the South End Community Day Care, waved.
