St. Clair O’Connor Community Inc.
St. Clair O’Connor Community Inc. (SCOC) is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to developing a safe and caring environment for gracefully aging seniors. SCOC as it’s affectionately known, is an intergenerational community for families both young and older that focuses on creating a safe and encouraging place in a congregated setting. While being able to enjoy an intimate and private living existence, seniors at SCOC are also provided with many resources to engage with the community and foster relationships with their fellow residents as well as the staff.

Tea Room/Store
Servicing our residents and extended community, the Tea Room & Store is conveniently located at the corner of St. Clair Ave. East and O’Connor.
The Tea Room has been running successfully thanks to the dedication and commitment of our helpful volunteers that take the time to care for it every day.
You will find all the basics including freshly served food, coffee, sandwiches, and soups straight from our SCOC kitchen. Residents, staff and visitors from outside our community frequent the Store for its selection of groceries, cards, books and gifts. It’s all about the convenience of being able to purchase them so close to home and work.
