To better respond to TCHC resident's request for barrier-free community spaces, TCHC has created a program called, "Our Spaces, Your Ideas. The program provides opportunities for residents to book spaces and host private and public events in specific TCHC buildings.

One of the buildings in Regent Park that are available for residents to book is 150 River Street. The building features attractive amenities such as a kitchen and a multi-purpose community room that can accommodate a maximum of 192 people.

The TCHC's "Our Spaces, Your Ideas." is more than just a way to book a room; it’s an invitation to transform community spaces into vibrant hubs of activity. Whether you’re planning a lively birthday bash, a vital community meeting, or a weekly workshop, TCHC tenants now have the freedom to bring their visions to life within the very heart of their communities.

In Regent Park, a community rich in diversity and history, the impact is especially profound. As the area continues its exciting journey of redevelopment and revitalization, "Our Spaces, Your Ideas" offers residents the chance to create new traditions and strengthen social ties. This isn’t just about using a space; it’s about weaving together the fabric of a community, where long-time residents and newcomers alike can share their cultures, talents, and dreams.
