After more than 25 years of leadership, Access Alliance Executive Director Axelle Janczur will retire, effective June 30, 2026.

Axelle’s strong leadership and dedication to Access Alliance’s values, clients, communities, and staff have been central to the growth and spirit of our newcomer-serving community health centre. A true champion of community healthcare, Axelle has worked hard to strengthen the sector, advancing knowledge creation and driving meaningful systemic change, always with equity and access at the core.

The success of Access Alliance is rooted in Axelle’s collaboration with staff, the Board, community members, and partners, and in her steadfast focus on building our capacity to fulfill our mission.

We are deeply grateful for her leadership. Her commitment to “the righteous fight” will continue to guide us as we act, collaborate, and innovate in the pursuit of improving health outcomes for immigrants, refugees, and their communities.

Those working with youth in Toronto’s east end: we see you.

We understand resources are limited and needs are not. We know pinpointing how to best address gaps in programs and services can feel out of reach. We get that the thought of organizing focus groups and gathering data to inform your work can feel like an overwhelming task.

With this in mind, we’d like to share the findings from our recent Youth Service Needs Assessment. This report can help guide you to more effectively support the health and well-being of your young clients.

Based on consultations with east-end youth and service providers, the report captures the youth’s experiences, concerns, and needs. It also looks at the strengths and limitations of existing youth programs and services, and recommends how we can best address critical gaps. Our hope is that the report's findings will help improve existing programs—and develop new ones—that meet the real health and well-being needs of local youth.
