St. James Town is a community of more than 30,000 residents, all living in a neighbourhood that is less than one square kilometre in area. Living in such a dense and, for many, a new cultural environment presents many challenges to a healthy and productive way of life. We approach both community and individual health and well-being in a holistic way that considers employment, social isolation, self-esteem, language, finances and problem solving.
