St. James Town represents the highest density of people in all of Canada (20,000+) living in one area. 43% of families living in this area live below the poverty line. 31% of St. James Town families are single-parent families. The majority of residents are new immigrants to Canada trying to make things work. However, as is often the case with low-income, low-wage families, the lack of opportunities often continue the cycles of poverty from generation to generation. The Toronto City Mission is partnering with
St. Paul's Bloor Street Church, Young Nak Presbyterian Church
and Monsignor Fraser College in St. James Town.
