The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose unprecedented challenges to recreation, parks and community sport. The CPRA ReImagine RREC project has explored peer-reviewed Canadian and international research and survey data, and consulted with leaders from across the country on what’s needed to help the sector and your community restart, retool and recover.

- How COVID-19 has influenced people’s behaviours and expectations and how parks, recreation and community sport have surged in popularity.
- Current research on operational and facility design considerations to make programs and facilities safe for reopening.
- Innovative approaches to online and in-person programs and events.
- The impact of technology.
- Promising and ‘next’ practices from the field to help you renew, retool, engage and contribute to broader community recovery.
