The Saint James Music Academy gives young people the opportunity to explore their creative potential, gain self-confidence, get an academic head start, and develop good relationships, all of which will add to their success in life.
At a time when Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside is rapidly changing, we have established a music education program which will remain accessible to children from low-income families.
Saint James Music Academy is located at St James Anglican Church, where teaching space is provided to the Academy free of charge. In providing this space, the church is continuing its 125-year tradition of excellence in music and commitment to its neighbourhood.

Hendrik Beune of AHA MEDIA is a proud vendor of Megaphone Magazine in Vancouver Downtown Eastside
Hendrik Beune of AHA MEDIA says
“Selling Megaphone is great because I like the stuff that’s written in here. Megaphone represents the spirit of the Downtown Eastside people. It’s all about uprising and really that’s the spirit you find here.”

Megaphone is a magazine sold on the streets of Vancouver by homeless and low-income vendors. The magazine is published every two weeks. Vendors buy the paper for 75 cents and sell the magazine to customers by donation. All money from the transaction goes into the pocket of the vendor.
Selling the paper gives our vendors a sense of pride and has helped some overcome homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, and become more comfortable with their mental of physical illnesses. By giving them a place and a voice in their community it helps raise their self-esteem.
