About

The Briton House

The American poet Carl Sandburg wrote “Unless first a dream nothing happens.” Over 40 years ago we, at The Briton House, had a dream to create a place of retirement in a great residential area with a multiplicity of choices. The freedom to be you!
In the process of achieving this dream, some of the finest people in Toronto became our wonderful guests. Indeed, we were forerunners in desiring to be “what the guest wants”.

We’re excited about this grand historic accomplishment in giving North Toronto unparalleled retirement living.  The Briton House provides nourishment for the whole person. We offer entertainment and cultural events, a year-round garden for your enjoyment, professionally guided exercise program for groups and individuals, nutritious meals, great and varied accommodation and a quite room/chapel for inspirational services and meditation.

Our pride and enthusiasm is exceedingly real but in the final analysis it’s your approval that is important and we will always do our best to achieve that.

So, I trust we will see you in The Briton House family soon.
