At the Alberta Recreation & Parks Association (ARPA), we recognize the month of June as “June is Recreation & Parks Month” (JRPM). JRPM highlights the many benefits that recreation and parks bring to our communities, and acknowledges the strong foundation of parks and recreation facilities & programs in Alberta.
This year’s theme of #Recreation&ParksMatter is all about recognizing the vital role that recreation and parks play in building healthy, active, and connected communities. As always, we look forward to celebrating with you!
Please contact Callie Woodley at cwoodley@arpaonline.ca for any questions.
June is National Indigenous History Month. This month, we honour the history, heritage and diversity of Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) in Canada. It is also an opportunity to recognize the strength of present-day Indigenous communities.
On June 21st, we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. This is a day for all Canadians to celebrate and learn more about the unique cultures and traditions of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples – participate in activities in your community or plan your own event!
As well, June is Pride Month. It is a time when we celebrate diversity and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, acknowledge their history, the hardships they have endured, and the progress that has been made.
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.
