Tripartite Partnership

In late 2008, Alberta's Ministry of Tourism, Parks and Recreation, the University of Alberta's Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation, and the Alberta Recreation and Parks Association signed a Memorandum of Understanding, marking the beginning of an innovative three-year partnership and financial commitment.

This partnership is intended to enhance the province's recreation and parks sector by strengthening communication and collaboration between the three parties. As a component of the initiative, a Senior Liaison of Leadership and Profressional Development was recruited in early 2009 to teach several classes at the University, and to provide advice and oversight relative to a number of key strategic priorites for the partner organizations.

AUMA-ARPA Protocol Agreement

In 2007, the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) and ARPA formalized their working relationship through a protocol agreement.

The intent of the agreement is to enhance inter-agency collaboration in matters of joint interest, such as municipal land-use planning, urban parks, active transportation, and healthy communities.
