Regent Park’s new cultural hub is awarded regional prize by event industry leader BizBash
Daniels Spectrum, Regent Park’s new cultural hub, has been named Best New Venue in Canada by BizBash, North America’s leading event industry publication. The award is an enormous achievement for Artscape and Daniels Spectrum’s partners: Toronto Community Housing, The Daniels Corporation and members of the Regent Park community. The winners of the first BizBash National Event Style Awards were announced on October 29 at the BizBash IdeaFest expo in New York.

In September 2013, Daniels Spectrum was selected as a finalist for Best New Venue for Meetings and Events in North America in the first BizBash National Event Style Awards after an exclusive advisory board reviewed hundreds of event, brand, venue and talent submissions. Daniels Spectrum was named the regional winner for Canada at the BizBash IdeaFest New York expo on October 29.
