About the Rexdale (Jamestown) community
Rexdale (Jamestown) is located in North Etobicoke, in the northwest end of Toronto. The community is culturally diverse and has a history of strong community spirit. However, it is also wrestling with many socio-economic issues related to poverty, unemployment, immigration, affordable housing, education, and family breakdown.
In October 2005, Toronto City Council designated Rexdale (Jamestown) as one of 13 priority neighbourhoods, requiring infrastructure investment and improvement of community services.
The Rexdale (Jamestown) Pathways to Education Program is offered through an alliance between United Way of Greater Toronto and Pathways Canada. Further, in addition to corporations, foundations and private donors, the Youth Challenge Fund has been a key funder for both the start up and implementation of the program, contributing significant funding over the next three years.
