OASIS Food Hub

OASIS Food Hub

Designed by members, residents, and experts, the OASIS Food Hub responds to the growing need for food security in the neighbourhood. This is accomplished through a Good Food Buying Club, community garden, and Black Food Sovereignty organizing.

Resident Capacity Building

Resident Capacity Building

St. James Town is a highly educated neighbourhood, but it is also low-income and underemployed. Through a Timebank, community-led workshops, and volunteer and employment opportunities, the Co-op is a platform for resident capacity and skill building.

Climate & Emergency Resilience

Climate & Emergency Resilience

St. James Town has suffered from a number of building-wide emergencies, and the neighbourhood consistently faced the highest COVID-19 cases downtown. By collaborating with organizations in the neighbourhood, the Co-op aims to ensure St. James Town has a safe response plan for future emergencies.
