Over the past year the City and TCHC have significantly reduced their participation in the Regent Park Social Development Plan (SDP) citing ongoing conflict, problems and tensions. In the hopes of resolving these issues, the City commissioned an independent consultant group, Human Future Studio (HFS), to produce a report on the SDP and make recommendation on changes.
The Regent Park SDP aims to enhance the neighborhood's well-being by fostering social inclusion and cohesion. It involves four working groups focused on employment, safety, community building, and communication, which meet monthly, supported by a planning committee and sub-committees. These groups report to a stakeholders table that convenes quarterly. Participation is open to all, including TCHC residents, market residents, city staff, and local organizations. Notable achievements of the SDP include the Regent Park Cafe and Vendors Market, an employment report looking into the barriers residents have in finding jobs, improved relations with community police, an asset map of youth services, 86 episodes of RPTV - a local news show, the Hello Neighbor app, and the continued support of the annual "Sunday in the Park" festival.
On July 16, 2024, the Regent Park community gathered to hear the findings of the report by Human Future Studio (HFS), a third party consultant group commissioned by the City of Toronto. The aim of the SDP Refresh Report was to review and make recommendations related the Regent Park Social Development Plan.
The two hour presentation was held at the Regent Park Community Centre. At the beginning of the meeting it was announced that neither the City or HFS would be taking any questions related to the presentation, requesting instead that attendees write down their questions on cards provided at the seated tables (the answers of which would be provided at a later date).
HFS began the presentation by outlining their methodology which included: a review of SDP documents; a community scan; interviews with City staff, community leaders and researchers; and discussions with a small reference group made up of community members selected by the City.
Next HFS presented their insights and learnings and finally recommendations.
