In this webinar, you’ll learn about the essential findings from the ReImagine RREC project including:
- 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.

- Promising and ‘next’ practices from the field to help you renew, retool, engage and contribute to broader community recovery.
