ReImagine RREC – Renew, Retool, Engage and Contribute – is a national COVID-19 recovery initiative for parks, recreation and community sport leaders delivered by the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA). It is intended to help leaders working in parks, recreation and community sport to improve planning, operations and delivery of programs and services in a pandemic and post-pandemic environment, as well as to contribute to community recovery more broadly. CPRA is hosting five interactive workshops for leaders in the parks, recreation and community sport sectors.
Topics:
- Adaptive Planning and Leadership in light of the ongoing challenges of COVID-19 and continually changing circumstances across the country.
