The site of a multi-year redevelopment of public and private housing and social infrastructure, Regent Park’s population is roughly equivalent to Moss Park, but with 40% fewer households due to a greater presence of families. The neighbourhood has the largest household size in the Core with a high presence of children in all age ranges and nearly triple the Core average of single parents. This neighbourhood has the second-lowest average household income and the highest social assistance rate in the Core. It is also the most multilingual neighbourhood, with over 50% of residents speaking a language other than English at home. Large cohorts of immigrants from Bangladesh and China have arrived in recent years.

News & Events

All City-owned outdoor and wading pools are operating on a full-time summer schedule, open daily from 10:00am to 8:00pm. Splash pads are open and operate daily from 9:00am to 9:00pm. Residents are advised to check individual location schedules online before visiting. 

The City is replacing all 470,000 Water Meter Transmission Units (MTUs) across Toronto, which will take about three years to complete. The City’s contractor Neptune Technology Group (Canada) will contact residents and businesses by mail with instructions on how to book your MTU replacement appointment. It’s important to book your appointment as soon as you are contacted.

Rideables – lightweight, personal and often electric modes of transportation like bikes, e-bikes and mopeds – have become a key part of how people get around Toronto. Whether you’re riding for fun, commuting or making deliveries, it’s everyone’s responsibility to ride safely, follow the rules for rideables and respect fellow travellers.

Protecting your skin from the sun is the best way to prevent skin cancer. Wear sunscreen, stay in the shade and wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses. The City is once again partnering with the David Cornfield Melanoma Fund and the Douglas Wright Foundation to offer residents and visitors free sunscreen through #BeSunSafe dispensers at select parks, beaches and camp sites. The program has expanded to City golf courses, so that golfers can be protected while out on the greens.

Prolonged or extreme heat can affect your health in different ways, including heat stress, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Symptoms of heat illness can range from mild to severe. To help ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents, the City of Toronto activates a Heat Relief Strategy from May 15 to September 30.

Join us for this year’s Regent Park Summer Jam — a free community celebration focused on bringing neighbours together and kicking off the summer season in a positive and welcoming way. The event will take place on Saturday, June 13 from 12:00pm to 5:00pm in Regent Park (620 Dundas Street East) and will feature live entertainment, free food, family-friendly activities, community resources, and opportunities for residents to connect with local organizations and safety partners.
