History

N.I.P.'s History
    Neighbourhood Information Post (N.I.P) opened in July, 1970, as a result of:
  1. recommendation of the Don District Study by the Social Planning Council;
  2. co-operation and interest of the Toronto Public Libraries;
  3. expressed need of local groups, individual residents and the local inter agency council.
    4. Staffing at N.I.P. was almost entirely voluntary for the first year of operation. The agency was incorporated and registered as a charitable organization in 1972, Over the years, from a small volunteer-based organization, N.I.P. has evolved into an integral part of the Downtown Toronto East community.
