토론토 한인회(KCCA)는 토론토에 설립된 첫번째이자 유일한, 캐나다 한인들의문화적/공동체 기관입니다. KCCA는 토론토 광역지역에 있는 120,000 개 이상의강력한 캐나다 한인 공동체들에게 봉사합니다. KCCA는 1965년에 설립되었으며, 1976년에는 복지기관의 지위를 받았습니다. 지난 45년간 KCCA는 한국 문화와유산의 이해와 감사를 캐나다인들에게 알리는데 중요한 역할을 수행했습니다. KCCA는 유산의 중요성 뿐만 아니라 문화적 인내성과 이해를 알리기 위해 축제, 이벤트, 프로그램 등을 제공했습니다. KCCA 는 또한 교육적이고 레크레이션적이며사회적인 서비스를 토론토 광역 지역의 이민자들에게 제공했습니다. 마지막으로KCCA는 캐나다 한인들의 서비스와 비지니스 기관들을 위한 포괄적인 집단으로써봉사합니다.

현재 한인 문화 센터(KCCC) 시설들의 대다수의 사용자들은 인구가 급속히증가하고 있는 노인들 입니다. KCCA는 육체적인 장애를 겪고 계신 분들과노인들에게 서비스를 확장하고 있으며, 그렇게 하기 위해서 우리는 KCCC 시설들을보다 사용 용이하게 만들려고 하고 있습니다. 이것은 KCCA에게 있어 매우 중요한시작입니다. 이 프로젝트(기획)를 통해서 KCCA는 KCCC를 모든 캐나다인들을위한 공간으로 변경할 것입니다. 따라서, KCCA는 한인 공동체와 모든캐나다인들에게 보다 나은 봉사를 위해서 우리의 고객 기반을 확장할 것입니다.

우리의 계획은KCCC가 모든 사람들이 사용할 수 있도록 하기 위해서, 시설들을개조할 필요성이 있습니다. 현재는 건물의 1 층만 휠체어가 이용 가능합니다. 이것은 빌딩으로의 접근을 힘들게 만들고 있으며, KCCC로 들어가는데 있어 많은방문객들이 어려움을 겪고 있습니다. 따라서 우리는 빌딩의 1층의 정문을 개조할것입니다.

두번째로 우리는 사무실을 보다 나은 접근을 위해서 1층으로 옮길 것입니다. 많은사람들이 빌딩으로 들어올 때, 2층에 위치한 사무실을 찾는 것에 어려움을 겪습니다. 게다가, 2층으로 가는 엘레베이터가 없기 때문에, 육체적 장애를 겪고 계신 분들이2층에 위치한 사무실로 들어올 경로가 없습니다. 따라서 KCCA는KCCC를 방문하는 노인분들 뿐만 아니라, 육체적 장애를 겪고 계신분들이 접근가능 하도록빌딩의 정문과 후문에 엘러베이터를 추가하고, 부엌과식당을 리디자인할 것입니다. 이러한 개조들과 함께, KCCA는 보다 많은 것들을이용할 수 있을 것이며, 빌딩이 가지고 있는 잠재력을 극대화할 수 있을 것입니다.

이러한 프로젝트의 진행을 원활하게 하기 위해서, KCCA는 2011년 캐나다의Human Resources and Skills Department를 통해서 Midsized Project Component Enabling Accessibility Fund 의 신청하고 있습니다. 펀드는 프로젝트완수를 위해 KCCA에 최소 500,000 달러에서 최대 3백만 달러를 제공할 것입니다. 연방정부는 전체 펀드의 75%를 제공할 것이며, KCCA는 펀드의 잔여금을 만들기위해서 기금 모으기를 해야만 합니다.

KCCA는 2011년 5월에 예정 중인 프로젝트의 시작과 함께 제공될 연방정부의 지원에 맞추기 위해서 펀드의 25%를 얻을 필요가 있습니다. 따라서, 우리가 캐나다 정부로부터 대다수의 펀드를 얻는다 할지라도, 우리는 여전히 여러분의 지원과 도움이필요합니다. 우리는 이 프로젝트를 위해서, 사립기업들과 공동체에서 200,000 달러이상의 지원을예상합니다.

캐나다 정부의 지원과 한국 비지니스와 공동체로부터의 원조와 더불어, KCCA가 모든 캐나다로의 한국 문화의 대사가 되는 2011년으로 만들 것입니다. 우리의 고귀한목표는 여러분의 성원 없이는 완수할 수 없기 때문에, KCCA는 우리의 노력에 당신의 지원을 요청합니다. KCCA는 한국 기업들과 비지니스 뿐만 아니라 모든 한국 공동체가 이 프로젝트로부터 혜택을 받을 것이라 믿습니다. 특히, KCCA는 우리 공동체 내에서 성공적인 기업들이 그들의 이미지를 향상시키는 것을 도와주기를 희망하며, 캐나다인들에게 한국 문화를 알리는 데 같이 활동하기를 바랍니다.

여러분의 성원에 감사드리며, 가능한 한 조속히 여러분들에게 소식을 듣기를 바랍니다.

The KCCA was established in 1965. The KCCA serves both the

Korean Canadian population, which is estimated at over 120,000

members and the Canadian community as a whole. In addition, with

over 5000 Korean immigrants per year entering Canada, KCCA serves

the Korean Canadian Community as a home away from home.


KCCA Mandate

Community Networking

The KCCA acts as an umbrella organizations

for the many Korean service and business

network with many Korean Canadian and

Canadian organizations to create a stronger

understanding of culture. Through cultural

understanding and tailored programming KCCA

The KCCC has a 450 capacity auditorium with a number of meeting

facilities. The KCCC accommodates a large number events, such as

stage performances, conferences, banquets, exhibitions and galas

all Canadians.

The ground floor of the existing facility has various deficiencies in accessibility which make full

utilization of the KCCC difficult. Therefore, the KCCA plans to renovated the front entrance, the

first floor restaurant area and the kitchen area. In addition, the KCCA will move the second floor

office to the first floor so all visitors are greeted and feel welcome at the KCCA. Finally, the

KCCA will put in an elevator in the front building for access to the second floor.

The second floor of the KCCA also has various deficiencies which make the second floor

almost unusable for our senior and disabled members. Therefore, we intend to redo the

second floor senior room area and put in windows, an elevator and a new stairwell. 10

Project


The Project Outlined

The Korean Canadian Cultural Centre (“KCCC”) has amazing potential to serve not

only the 120,000 strong Korean Canadian community in the Toronto GTA but also

the many multicultural communities who use the centre. Through the Mid-Sized

Enabling Accessibility Fund the KCCA hopes to bring new possibilities and hope to

the senior and physically challenged members of our community. In the following

pages the KCCA will demonstrate to our supporters the true need for these

renovations for accessibility at the KCCC.

The Case study on page ten shows a proven model of success in the Japanese

Canadian Cultural Association (JCCA). The JCCC is located just a mile away from

the KCCC at 6 Garamond Court, Toronto. The JCCC has received tremendous

support form the 20,000 strong Japanese community and more importantly the

JCCC has many corporate sponsors such as Toyota, Sony and Panasonic. As

shown in the case study the JCCC has played an important part in showing the

communities appreciation for their corporate sponsors.

The first phase requires changing the front doors to a sliding system which will allow

physically challenged individual and seniors easy access to the centre. In addition,

moving the office to the first floor will give all visitors access to the KCCC. Also, the

elevator in the front lobby will allow the KCCA members to access the second floor.

Lastly, the KCCA will renovate the Kitchen and dining room areas.

Finally, when the KCCA moves the main office to the second floor, we will need to

renovate the back area to create a multipurpose room that which is more

accessible for seniors and physically challenged adults. This room will need a

revamped ventilation system, windows and a sun roof to allow for the people to

enjoy the area.

Expected Outcomes

At the KCCA we hope that these renovations will allow the KCCC take the next

step in providing the Korean Canadian community with the services and cultural

programming that will allow the younger generation of Korean Canadians to

understand their identity and heritage. In addition, we hope we can offer a place of

respite to the senior generations, and the members of the physically challenged

community.

This initiative will also allow us to serve the many multicultural communities who

utilize our facilities. Through these renovations the KCCA will become a hub in

which all members of the Canadian society will feel welcome.

Finally, this initiative will benefit you, our corporate sponsors. The time has come

for the community to recognize the importance of culture and image in assisting the

Korean community, businesses and corporations. The KCCA is not only providing

culturally sensitive programming for the Korean Canadian senior community but we

are spreading the positive aspects of Korean cultural to all of Canada. Therefore,

when the second generation Korean Canadians visit the centre they will view the

positive aspect of Korea and Korean businesses and corporations. Similarly,

multicultural Canada will get a chance to see the amazing advances Korea has

made and Korea’s rich cultural history.

Finally, as the umbrella organization the KCCA is working to network the amazing

service organizations in the Korean Canadian community with the members of the

community. Through our recognition of your support the member of the Korean

Canadian community will see the important contributions you are making to our

community.
