“ TSP provides a welcoming place… We feel fortunate to benefit from both the physical space and the tremendous staff who accommodate so many different demands on the Centre’s resources.”

Michelle Robidoux, Toronto Health Coalition

“ TSP is a rare downtown church that has figured out how to move not just with the times but

in many ways ahead of them – in the lead, the vanguard, when the church is doing the job its

members and supporters have mapped out for it… TSP survives its way through modernity

by doing innumerable things of every spiritual shape and size…”

John Allemang, Globe & Mail, April 2008

“ The hall is great for concerts. Because of its layout in the round, audience members enjoy a great feel-ing of intimacy with the performers. The ground floor is slightly raked allowing for excellent sightlines. The acoustics are very good. The spirit of the Centre is very welcoming.”

David Fallis, Artistic Director, The Toronto Consort

“ TSP has shared its home with Tafelmusik since 1981. Its mission is rooted in its conviction that the health of this city region depends significantly upon spaces that nurture the arts, diverse spirituality, social engagement and social assistance to those in need.”

Trish Baldwin, Managing Director, Tafelmusik

“ I doubt that the Toronto Salsa Practice could exist in anything like its current form anywhere but Trinity-St. Paul’s. The central location of the church, easily accessible by subway; the attractiveness of the building; its availability during daylight hours; and its low rent have allowed the Practice to brighten the lives of many over the years.”
