40 Oaks – The Building

40 Oaks is an innovative project of the CRC and our largest project to date. It consists of 87 units of affordable, safe housing and a 10,000 square foot community hub where people can gather, develop, and participate in activities geared to their needs. The project is nearing completion and is expected to be occupied beginning in 2012.

A lush food garden will be located at the western front of the building, creating a place where fresh fruits and vegetables can be grown, harvested and used by individuals and by our community meal program. On the eastern front of the building, a reflective Peace Garden will stand as a reminder of loved ones lost as well as provide a place where we can collectively come to dream of a new and brighter future for our community.

The community hub inside 40 Oaks is a flexible space featuring The Rogers Family Room. During the day, the room will host a meal program as well a community living room – a place where all members of the community can gather, whether it’s dropping by for a cup of coffee or having an impromptu meeting. A quiet worship space will be the home to the Regent Park United Church and other faith groups. We are delighted to work with Toronto Urban Native Ministry as we plan our use of the worship space in 40 Oaks.

A commercial kitchen, The Sprott Family Foundation Community Kitchen, will enable food-related programming to become the centre of activity in Regent Park!

The building is designed to be environmentally friendly, being developed to meet the City’s Green Development Standards. It is also being developed to a level equal to a LEED Silver.
