About this Event
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. In the 1960s, it became the centre for the young, single lifestyles; however, after a period of transition and change, it is now home to many diverse cultures, welcoming new immigrants from around the world and contributing to Toronto's multi-cultural mosaic. Join us as we explore all of what St James Town has to offer.
