at least six convenience stores, two on Howard Street, two on Sherbourne Street, one on Ontario Street south of St. James Avenue, and one on Wellesley Street East

The St. James Town Youth Council, a body of community youth who meet regularly to address issues in their community.
Currently, they host an annual talent show called "Urban Flair" featuring performances by local youth.
This competition allows members of the community to support each other and provides an opportunity for new and upcoming stars to take to the stage.

The St. Jamestown Community Cafe was launched in 2011.
 This pay-what-you-can cafe hopes to find a permanent home and establish Toronto's first community powered PWYC eating establishment while also providing a place for community members to interact and be entertained.
 The cafe founders also hope to provide an incubator for other community organizations interested in developing and establishing their own neighbourhood's version of a community powered pwyc cafe.
