Like many of us in the recreation and parks sector, the Alberta Recreation & Parks Association (ARPA) is on its own reconciliation journey with diverse Indigenous peoples and communities across Alberta. Our goal is that through our actions, as a member-based organization, we demonstrate our dedication to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in the spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
In the overall Walking with Indigenous Communities sections, you will find resources to help the recreation and parks sector with these actions as well as examples of how ARPA is engaging in this important work.
2026 is a big year for us! This year marks both ARPA’s 75th anniversary, and 10 years of our Reconciliation journey.
As we reflect on the past 10 years of our Reconciliation Journey we are grateful to all those who have helped guide us, and shared their wisdom and teachins with us.
We look forward to continuing to move forward in collaboration with Indigenous Communities in a good way.
The Alberta Recreation & Parks Association would like to acknowledge the First Nations, the Métis, the Inuit and all of the people across Alberta who share a history and a deep connection with this land. We dedicate ourselves to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in the spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
