In 1911, George P. Bryce together with superintendent, John Joseph Kelso, and divinity student, Arthur H. Burnett, founded Central Neighbourhood House - a social settlement that sought to provide incoming Canadians with services they desperately lacked in the downtown Ward neighbourhood. The house was to provide them with education, recreation and cultural activities and, unlike other missions and social reform movements of the time, the services were to be completely secular in nature.

In 1919, a group of young adults and children are seen in a line up outside of the Central Neighbourhood House social settlement in the Ward. Ranging in age from children to teens, they represent a cross section of immigrants that have arrived for a day of programming; many of them are Slavic and Jewish in origin.

Thus, within a few blocks, "five or six languages are spoken and as many different creeds professed."
