Once a neighbourhood full of grand Victorian houses on every corner, St James Town is now known as the largest high-rise community in Canada. Once a centre for the young, single lifestyle in the 1960s, it is now home to diverse cultures and communities.
Join us as we explore all of what St James Town has to offer.
