Welcome to
Community Matters
In Toronto’s St. James Town neighbourhood, more than 60 cultures
live in a dense community of more than 35,000 residents, many of them new Canadians.
We recognize the importance and difficulty of adapting to life in this country. Community Matters Toronto (CMT), a group of St. James Town neighbours, has sought to contribute to a strong neighbourhood culture by helping to build networks of relationships, to link people to others with common interest and foster exchanges of knowledge and skills.
We assist a steady stream of families dealing with issues of housing, finances, social issues, employment, citizenship, language, and parenting.
We also offer a music program, homework club, tutoring, and a summer literacy camp.
For many of us, this is our life's work. Some have worked on this for at least 10 years, incorporating our ideas and practical approaches. We believe strongly in self examination and renewal. In this web site we take stock of our experiences to see how our ideas have taken form and evolved.
