New Dawn is a non-profit, private, volunteer-directed social enterprise dedicated to community building. We seek to identify community needs and to establish and operate ventures that speak to those needs. Today New Dawn works in housing, commercial real estate, community healthcare, immigration, food security, community engagement, community investment, and the arts.

Some of the services provided by New Dawn generate revenues, and these revenues are reinvested in New Dawn.

Our mission — to engage the community to create a culture of self-reliance — is as relevant today as it was when the organisation was founded back in 1976.
