Community Consultation Meeting—Regent Park Phases 4 & 5 Zoning By-law amendments
On October 30th, residents of Regent Park joined a virtual community consultation hosted by the City of Toronto to discuss proposed zoning amendments for the neighborhood’s Phases 4 and 5 revitalization.

The meeting brought together representatives from Toronto Community Housing, Tridel, and City officials to address updates aimed at tackling infrastructure challenges and expanding housing options. A major point of discussion was the proposed addition of 98 market units and its potential implications for the 633 Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) units that have been a cornerstone of Regent Park’s redevelopment plan.
Residents voiced their concerns about how the changes could affect the neighborhood’s affordability and inclusivity, emphasizing the importance of preserving its legacy as a mixed-income, diverse community.
Key presentations were delivered by City Planner Katherine Bailey, TCHC’s Peter Zimmerman, and Tridel’s Bryan Sherwood, who shared insights into the proposed changes and their potential impact. The meeting also provided an opportunity for residents to express their views and contribute to shaping the future of their community.
