What is JRPM?
At the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA), we celebrate the month of June as "June is Recreation & Parks Month" (JRPM) nationwide. JRPM serves as a platform to showcase the various benefits that recreation and parks bring to our communities, recognizing the vital role they play in enhancing the wellbeing of Canadians from coast to coast.
Throughout the month of June, we encourage all Canadians to embrace the opportunities for physical activity, exploration, and community connection that our parks and recreation facilities and programs offer. Join us this June as we #CelebrateJRPM and experience firsthand the countless benefits that Recreation & Parks contribute to our lives and communities. We are excited to celebrate with you!
