2. REGENT PARK TV (SIIF & 500 K SDP CITY FUNDING)
Regent Park TV (RPTV) is a Youtube channel and a neighbourhood TV station that serves the Regent Park community. Currently we are in discussions with TCHC on the future of the tv station.
With the support of The Communication Table along with funding from the SDP we seek to: expand the viewership of Regent Park TV as an important source of information; promote resident engagement; video document the activities of the SDP as well as the ongoing happenings of Regent Park. Led by the FOCUS Media Arts Centre, three Regent Park residents have been hired through this initiative to support the project activities including the submission of journalistic articles for the Regent Park Newspaper.
In the past months, RPTV has featured videos on Ramadan, Ramadan Meals, Vaccinations, YEY RP Youth Survey, Info about TCHC & Tridel Phase 4 & 5, RP Infiniguard security initiative, covid arts engagement and the RP Community Wealth project. Currently, RPTV is producing an explainer video on SDP and each of the four SDP committees.
