The Jaffari Community Centre (JCC) is a Shia Islam husayniyya and community centre, located in the Thornhill district, in the Greater Toronto area of Ontario, Canada. In addition to the prayer hall, the centre contains a library, cafe, gym, several banquet halls, and school, and primarily serves as a mosque.[2]

Overview

The mosque is administered by the Islamic Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaat (ISIJ) and is the main mosque and centre for ISIJ, that administers another three mosques in the greater Toronto area, located in Barrie, Brampton and Hamilton.[3]

In 2018 the Vaughan Council approved a modified development application submitted by ISIJ for an 11-hectare (27-acre) site, called Jaffari Village, that would deliver 60 three-storey townhouses, a six-storey seniors' residence, an eight-storey residential building, a three-storey above-ground parking garage, a high school and a new park and nature trail. Prior to the Council's approval, the project faced concerted opposition from the Council residents.[4][5]
