Social Procurement is a Powerful Tool to Generate Economic Impact

In addition to creating pathways and opportunities for community economic development through employment, Daniels sees value in leveraging our purchasing power to source goods and services – everything from catering, to millwork, photography and manufactured textiles – in the local community. Social purchasing recognizes the skills, strengths and potential that exist within Regent Park, and makes a conscious effort to source goods and services from local residents.

In recognition of Toronto’s many talented artists and craftspeople, Daniels purchases and/or commissions locally-sourced art from emerging, mid-career, and established artists for the purpose of displaying their works within our GTA communities. Foregoing generic stock art from art depots, this community-based approach to social procurement simultaneously beautifies the community, celebrates local story telling and heritage, and brings economic benefit and exposure to local artists.
