40 Oaks – Community Hub

The CRC has an on-going commitment to build partnerships and work collaboratively with partner agencies.

To that end, we have been working to ensure the development of a Community Hub in 40 Oaks, which will provide shared spaces to community service organizations that offer a range of support such as language instruction, job training, after-school programs and drop-in groups.

The Hub will bring together both not-for-profit organizations and grassroots voluntary services whose work will serve to a) create opportunities for social inclusion and cohesion b) provide accessible services c) strengthen the work of each agency or group d) provide opportunity for program collaboration, and e) reduce collective overhead so more resources can go into programs.

This is a new concept, not just for CRC but also for the community as a whole. Never before has an organization within Regent Park attempted to provide space for multi-services under one roof, allowing community members to access a multitude of services within one facility. It’s a bold, new and progressive step forward.

And CRC is well equipped to do this. Historically we have been the home for emerging enterprises and programs and have provided an incubation space for many that have gone on to independence. Creating a Hub will be an expansion of this model and a continuation of this history.

The Hub will be a warm and inviting environment for all people, where all residents of Regent Park can create vibrant connections.

Sunday in the Park
Taking the lead, the CRC, along with other partner agencies, residents, and volunteers, organizes an annual summer festival, Sunday in the Park, at Lord Dufferin Public School. Thousands of people came to enjoy an impressive line-up of local entertainers, children’s performers, food vendors, market places, raffle prizes and a large community barbeque. This much awaited, daylong event is a time where we all come together to meet one another and celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of the Regent Park community.
