The Edmonton Inner City Housing Society was formed in 1983. Since that time we have developed 12 housing projects. We own and manage all of our properties. Our housing is built to blend in with the other housing in the neighbourhood in which we build. Living in safe, decent, affordable housing helps to stabilize people's lives. Our tenants are comprised of adults and families on fixed income, working in low-paying jobs or going to school, to name a few. Some of our tenants also volunteer in the neighbourhood.

Our Values: Housing for All – Access to safe, decent and affordable housing is a basic human right that should be available to everyone. Human Dignity – We believe in the worth and dignity of every human being. We respect the people we serve and those who help us in this effort. People are our greatest resource. Partnership – We can best achieve our mission through meaningful and mutually beneficial partnerships with others. Diversity and Inclusiveness – There is a role for everyone committed to our vision, mission and values. We seek to enrich our organization through diversity.

Our mission at The Toronto Humane Society is to promote the humane care and protection of all animals and to prevent cruelty and suffering. The day-to-day operation of the THS involves the direct handling of lost, abandoned, unwanted and injured pets. In any given year, approximately 10,000 animals pass through the shelter, which is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The injured receive veterinary care; abandoned animals are given a safe haven. Immature and injured animals are placed in foster care until they are strong enough to be placed for adoption. The Toronto Humane Society is supported solely by individual and corporate donations - we do not receive government funding of any kind.
