The 519 is a Toronto-based non-profit organization focused on advancing 2SLGBTQ+ equality and inclusion locally and beyond. It operates as both a City of Toronto agency and a registered charity, tracing its work to 1975 and highlighting public-private collaborations in city-building. The organization uses a three-pillar model—service, space, and leadership—that underpins every program and initiative. Its activities emphasize direct, public and philanthropic service that addresses community-identified needs while upholding integrity, transparency, and excellence among staff, volunteers, and members. It creates physical and figurative spaces where individuals, groups, and organizations can meet, work, collaborate, celebrate, and grow. In June 2026, OPB Realty Inc. partnered with The 519 to share resources and training, illustrating an example of continued external collaboration.
