Columbus Centre

Columbus Centre, the hub of the Villa Charities campus, is the GTA’s preeminent destination for the arts and culture serving the Italian Canadian community and beyond.

Frequented by more than 100,000 visitors every year, Columbus Centre is a popular meeting place where people can enjoy the richness of the Italian culture in a Canadian setting; a veritable piazza that brings together art, culture, fitness, and great culinary experiences all under one roof.

At Columbus Centre, we are revitalizing our facility as we renovate to get more out of our existing space and enhance the facilities hosting our programs and services. The improvements reflect Villa Charities’ commitment to ensuring a sustainable and vibrant future, and to improving the experience for all patrons, visitors, staff and tenants.

Some departments and services have been relocated as part of the renovations. See the Villa Charities campus map below for all new department locations.

Stay Engaged with Villa Charities

Although our on-site programming and facilities are temporarily closed, we want everyone in the Villa Charities community to feel supported, connected and engaged, as we stay home and do our part to stop the spread of COVID-19. We will be sharing a variety of online and digital content so you can continue experiencing Italian culture and heritage while enjoying our programs and services from home!
