Davenport Perth Community Ministry

The Davenport Perth Community Ministry is a ministry of presence, walking in solidarity with the culturally diverse, low income community of Davenport Perth. The three neighbourhoods covered by the ministry are Weston-Pelham Park, Corso Italia-Davenport and Dovercourt-Wallace Emerson-Junction. The role of the ministry is to provide community development and community organizing support, offer pastoral care and be engaged in advocacy through coalitions and networks.

The mural shown here can be seen on the west side of Symington, just past the bridge, north of Dupont. The artist, Gillian Mapp, grew up at Davenport Perth.
