Our Spaces
Aurora and Markham are our two main drop-in locations, where you’ll find the heart of Community Connections programming. Some groups and outings also take place at other locations across York Region and South Simcoe – check the activity calendar for details on where each program runs.
CMHA York Region and South Simcoe: Aurora Office
The Aurora office is home to a number of Community Connections programs and drop-in spaces where you can connect, learn, and take things at your own pace.
Address: 15150 Yonge St, Suite 201, Aurora, ON L4G 1M2
Phone: (Toll-free) 1-866-345-0183
Parking: Available on site
Accessibility: Wheelchair accessible; drop-in space is on the lower level, accessible directly from the parking lot. Accessible washrooms on site.
Transit: A five-minute walk from the York Region Transit blue bus Wellington stop
When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by a peer support worker or another staff member. You’ll sign in with your name and reason for visiting – it only takes a moment. If it’s your first time, someone will sit with you to complete a brief intake form and get you officially connected to the program.
From there, you’re welcome to find a seat, grab a coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, and take things at your own pace. There’s no pressure to interact – but if it’s your first visit, staff are good at spotting a new face and will come over to say hello.
This is the drop-in space – a relaxed, come-as-you-are environment where you can join a group, start a conversation, play some pool, do some colouring, or simply sit and take it all in.
CMHA York Region and South Simcoe: Markham Office
The Markham office is home to a number of Community Connections programs and drop-in spaces where you can connect, learn, and take things at your own pace.

Transit: A two-minute walk from the York Region Transit purple bus Highway 7/Town Centre stop
When you arrive at the Markham office, take the elevator to the seventh floor, round the corner to unit 710, and then ring the doorbell. You’ll be welcomed by a peer support worker or another staff member, and sign in with your name and reason for visiting. First time here? Someone will sit with you to complete a quick intake form and get you connected to the program.
Once you’re signed in, you’re welcome to join whatever is happening — whether that’s a group activity, a conversation, or just finding a comfortable spot to settle in. Grab a hot drink and take things at your own pace.
The drop-in space is relaxed and welcoming – a place where you can just be yourself. Come and go as you like, join in or observe, and connect with others when you’re ready.
