    St Mary's Church

    Ste. Madeleine Métis Community

    Ste. Madeleine was a Métis homestead of about 250 people located in Manitoba, near the Saskatchewan border. Red River Métis citizens and families established the settlement in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The community existed until shortly after the government implemented the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act of 1935 (see Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration). The Act was designed to assist farmers during drought conditions. However, it dispossessed the community of their land. In 1939, the community was destroyed, and the land was converted to pastureland. The Métis were removed with little or no compensation.

    The 519

    The 519 — formerly called The 519 Church Street Community Centre — is located at 519 Church Street in Toronto’s gay village. It has evolved from a neighbourhood-led preservation effort into one of Canada’s most significant 2SLGBTQ+ community centres. Community-controlled from its founding in 1975, it quickly grew into a major hub for social services, activism and grassroots organizing after opening its doors in 1976. The 519 helped to establish Toronto’s Church and Wellesley neighbourhood as a centre of 2SLGBTQ+ community life. It is one of four 2SLGBTQ+ spaces featured in Canada Post's 2026 Places of Pride stamp collection, issued on 9 June 2026.
