ReImagine RREC – Renew, Retool, Engage and Contribute – is a multi-phase COVID-19 recovery initiative for recreation, parks and community sport leaders supported by the Government of Canada and delivered by the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association. The initiative is intended to help leaders working in parks, recreation physical activity promotion, 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.
ReImagine RREC is a multi-phase initiative that applies a knowledge-to-action model to identify, analyze, synthesize, catalogue, and disseminate knowledge needed to make informed decision on how to plan, operate, and deliver parks, recreation, physical activity, and community sport programs. It will aid leaders to renew their value proposition; retool theirprogramming and service delivery; safely engage and support their employees, clients, and partners; and contribute to community recovery.
