The East York Civic Centre was the municipal office of the former city of East York, now part of Toronto, Ontario, Canada as the result of municipal amalgamation. The two-storey civic buildings, located on the western side of Coxwell Avenue, were completed in 1990, and are occupied by a number of municipal departments and services. Prior to 1990 it was the site of the East York Municipal Offices. The Township of East York Municipal Building was located nearby at 243 Sammon Avenue.Since 1998, the offices have not been used as council chambers. The East York Community Council became the Downtown Community Council (later renamed Toronto East York Community Council) and sits at Toronto City Hall.
