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.
