Luella Price Lane has been officially named in Toronto's east end to honor a significant Black woman from the early 1900s. The laneway is near the location where Price formed the Eureka Club in 1910, which provided aid to low-income residents. The club, known for its motto "not for ourselves, but for others," celebrated its 70th anniversary as Ontario's oldest Black women's organization. The initiative recognizes Price's impact on her community, highlighting the importance of her contributions to Leslieville and the broader Toronto area.
The motto of the Eureka Club was "not for ourselves, but for others," reflecting the organization's commitment to aid low-income Torontonians on an individual basis.
We're very proud of the work that Luella and her club did on Redwood. They established a club that did good things for the entire neighbourhood.
This naming honors Luella Price and recognizes her contributions to Leslieville and Toronto, marking an important moment for the community.
At its 70th anniversary in 1980, it was said to be the oldest Black women's organization in Ontario, showcasing its long-standing influence.
