SUMMARY:SPAR & Parks for Elected Officials Virtual Workshop
DESCRIPTION:It is widely understood that a high quality of life is essential to the economic wellbeing of a community and a key aspect of quality of life within a municipality’s controls is their recreation and parks programs and services.  The Alberta Recreation & Parks Association (ARPA)\, with the support of the Government of Alberta\, have developed a professional development workshop on Sport\, Physical Activity\, Recreation (SPAR) & Parks in Alberta for elected officials.   \n\n\n\nThe workshop will provide Council members with an understanding of the national framework documents\, Framework for Recreation in Canada 2015 – Pathways to Wellbeing and Parks for All – An action Plan for Canada’s Parks Community and Common Vision for Increasing Physical Activity and Reducing Sedentary Living as well as the linkages to the Municipal Government Act and other applicable legislation. A significant portion of the day will be devoted to exploring practical examples that you can implement in your community. \n\n\n\nWe are very pleased to advise you that we have retained the services of the recently retired Mayor of Leduc\, Mr. Bob Young to deliver the recreation and parks course.  \n\n\n\nNote: Registration for this workshop is open to elected officials only. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!\n\n\n\n\nIf you are interested in learning more please email Caleb Boorse at cboorse@arpaonline.ca.
