"I believe St. James Town to be a very diverse place to live and I enjoy all the different interactions and cherish all the people that make up my community."

Welcome to St. James Town
St. James Town boasts two community spaces built by the people, for the people
The Corner is a multipurpose space for community health and social services, as well as robust program offerings. The Corner is a hub that is a unique partnership between service providers and residents.
The result is a flexible model of health, social service, and recreational program delivery, one that embraces the complexity of a diverse urban community and adapts to what people truly need.
Since 2011, The Corner has been central to St. James Town’s health, well-being, and overall sense of community.
