A Chinese proverb: if you gave a fish to a hungry man, he/she will meet the need of one time, if you taught the hungry man the skill to weave a net, he/she will learn to solve the problem for life time. This is the main “mantra” of community development. So availability of institutions in the community which gives skills on health and employment are most to build healthy community.
Availability of institutions extending health services within the neighbourhood plays detrimental role to keep the health condition of community people intact. Above mentioned is a picture of building which consists of St. James Town Health Centre, St. Michaels Hospital Clinic and Mental Health Clinic located alongside of Sherbourne Street.
This centre has been extending primary health services to the community members of this community. Availability of such organization within the vicinity of the neighbourhood will certainly increase the feeling of safety among the community members.
Availability of health posts near by the community directly relates our lives. Because no body knows that when we fall sick. Falling sick means to be depressed physically and psychologically. The easy access of facilities assures people about their safety in regards to health.
Organizations rendering health services to people are directly related with our lives. Because people can have quick access of health services during the time of needs. And timely consultation with health personnel and treatment will certainly prevent the situation being deteriorated. Hence, this relates to good asset for our heath.
Presence of such kind of facilities can be categorized as great strength for any community. Besides, presence of other organizations like Wellesley Institute, Employment Resources Centre, schools and so on also are the strength of the community. Employment Resources Centre, located along side of Parliament Street has been trying to ease out the unemployment problem, the major problem of this neighbourhood. Where as Wellesley Institute has been seriously involving in transferring skills to empower the community members of St. James Town. The recent concept of community development is not only learning skills, but also to transfer learned skills to other members.

These strengths exist in this neighbourhood. Because this neighbourhood is mostly resided by newcomers and immigrants. And the population density is also very high. Canadian government tries to provide services to its people by making easy access of facilities. More the people employed, greater the revenue the government collects. The image of this neighbourhood among other and previous research made local government aware to launch programs which can bring people in the main stream of their wellness.
This image of strength can educate community and policy makers. Community members should have access to facilities provided by government. They should feel that these facilities are for the benefit of community members. The optimum use of these facilities in the neighbourhood by community members draw attention of policy makers. Policy makers should try to study the programs in regards to evaluate and increase more facilities in the community so that the community becomes a place better place
In order to enhance the strength, the community should be able create awareness about the facilities available in the community. More the facilities, better the prosperity in the community.

Therefore, it is crystal clear that community members are the crucial crusader for the development any community.
