KBC is a nondenominational Christian-based Chaplaincy, open to people of all faiths or no faith at all. Located on the concourse level of the Toronto Dominion Centre, KBC is a place where people come to unwind, pray, learn and enjoy fellowship with others.

On any given day, there are more than half of a million people within a one-kilometer radius of KBC’s office.  In a group so large, there exists a myriad of business, personal and family challenges.

We have helped thousands of people deal with job loss or transition, divorce, addiction, illness and depression as many prefer to avoid in-house corporate counseling services.

It is a sad truth that the financial district has seen its share of suicides, over the years, KBC has had numerous people come to our door contemplating this tragic solution to their problems, many who work in Canada’s larger financial organizations.

KBC is a community building organization that attempts to penetrate the alienation and isolation experienced by people in the great office towers of downtown Toronto.

Canadians are increasingly stressed on the job, leading to rising levels of frustration and burn out. The reduced productivity because of serious mental health issues is severely hurting the economy. So reports a recent study by the Desjardins Financial Services.
