Daniels Spectrum Arts & Cultural Hub
In 2012, Innocon provided approximately 8,500m³ of concrete for the construction of Daniels Spectrum, a 60,000-square-foot multi-purpose facility including a 3,400-seat performance and event venue and space for 15 arts and community organizations. Throughout the years, the community and cultural hub has been adding creative experiences and fostering learning and innovation for local youth and families, contributing to the neighborhood’s continued cultural and economic growth. Amrize and Innocon are honored to be long-standing collaborators with The Daniels Corporation and share the common objective of positively contributing to the redevelopment of Regent Park into a place where community members can grow, work, express themselves, and thrive.
“As someone who grew up in Regent Park, witnessing the transformation of Daniels Spectrum into the social heart of our revitalized community is nothing short of remarkable. The thousands of connections being made here with local community members and beyond are truly inspiring. From incredible events and exhibitions to inspiring programming for young people and the young at heart, there’s something here for everyone. This vibrant and inclusive space is made possible by the generous support of organizations like Amrize and Innocon. Their contributions ensure that Daniels Spectrum remains open and accessible to people from all walks of life. We are deeply grateful for their strong support and commitment to our community.”
In addition to providing concrete solutions to the construction of a number of mixed-income and mixed-use community buildings at the Regent Park in downtown Toronto (listed above), Amrize and Innocon also contributed to the development of Daniels Spectrum, Regent Park’s arts and cultural hub. Since 2013, Amrize and Innocon have also invested over $800,000 in the fundraising musical production “The Journey Musical,” which has told the story of Regent Park’s 70-year history and transformation to thousands of spectators.
The 2024 summer’s edition of the musical, titled “Songs from The Journey,” was presented in collaboration with The Royal Conservatory of Music, with Amrize and Innocon as the presenting sponsors, and like in previous years, audiences watched local artists share the stage with renowned Canadian performers. The production’s sixth version made its national debut at the Koerner Hall at the TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning in June 2024 — inaugurating a brand new chapter in this extraordinary production celebrating the Regent Park community. The 2024 edition raised close to $1.2 million, with net proceeds reinvested in the vital support of the arts at Daniels Spectrum and The Royal Conservatory. In total, the fundraising musical productions have been a catalyst for change, raising over $5.6 million since 2013.
