In 1894 the Toronto City Missionary Society of the Methodist Church of Canada began, with the donation by Hart A. Massey of a building on the corner of Queen and Jarvis Streets, known as the Fred Victor Mission. The Society was started for the purpose of carrying out evangelistic and mission work in the city of Toronto in connection with the Methodist Church. The work was not limited to the Fred Victor Mission location.
In 1901 the Society officially changed their name to the Fred Victor Mission Society of the Methodist Church, as it had become known colloquially, in honour of the original donation by Mr. Massey in memory of his son Fred Victor. The society remained the same in all other aspects. By 1906 the Fred Victor Mission Society included mission work throughout the city of Toronto, including: The Fred Victor Mission which housed mother’s meetings, children’s work and classes such as household science; Italian
Missions located at Agnes Street United Church and Elm Street United Church; The Victor Home for Young Women, Victor Industrial Institute, and Victor Annex.
On November 14, 1907, The Fred Victor Mission Society decided to change its name in order to better to reflect the work that it did. It was renamed as Toronto City and Fred Victor Mission Society of the Methodist Church. In 1912 the Methodist Social Union of Toronto and the Toronto City and Fred Victor Mission Society of the Methodist Church amalgamated to create the Methodist Union of Toronto. The Department of City Missions and Social Service oversaw the mission side of the work that was done by
the Methodist Union of Toronto.
