Regent Park (TO)

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.

LJI Journalists Serve Regent Park Community

As a result of the journalistic activities FOCUS continues to gain influence and awareness around the community. In meetings FOCUS is invited to fulfil media roles including creating posters and live streaming of important meetings such as live-streaming and documenting a local all- candidates meeting for the October 26, 2020, Toronto Centre By-Election, the recording of which was viewed by 962 people.  Another example is the filming and archiving of the Virtual Community Town Hall promoting community awareness of COVID-19 and the supports available to the community.
