It runs a 24/7 crisis line and provides free counselling,[2][3] and is one of 42 rape crisis centres in the province of Ontario.[4]

History

In the mid 1990s, the TRCC highlighted the issue of gender-based violence at Pride Toronto.[5]

In 2018, the TRCC saw an increase in demand for services following reporting on the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse cases.[6]

In 2019, the TRCC received $1m from the Ontario Government, 25% of what had been promised to them.[4] The wait time for services reached 15 months in 2019.[7]
