FOCUS Media Arts Centre (FOCUS) is a not-for-profit organization that was established in 1990 to counter negative media stereotypes of low income communities and provide relevant information to residents living in the Regent Park area and surrounding communities.
We seek to empower marginalized individuals and under represented communities to have a voice, through the use of professional training, mentorships and participatory based media practices that enable the sharing of stories, experiences and perspectives on relevant matters and issues.
In brief, our mandate is to empower marginalized individuals and under-serviced communities to have a voice and tell their own stories.

When Toronto Centre candidates faced off in Regent Park on April 30, 2025, the spotlight wasn’t only on politics—it was on the community itself. The packed debate at Daniels Spectrum, organized by the Community Civic Engagement Collaborative (CCEC), drew over 160 participants in person and online, proving that residents in Regent Park and the Downtown East are eager to engage in Canada’s democratic life.
