GENDER EQUITY IN RECREATIONAL SPORT

PARTNERS

The Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) is a national organization dedicated to realizing the full potential of parks and recreation as a major contributor to community health and vibrancy. Membership includes the 13 provincial and territorial parks and recreation associations and their extensive networks of service providers in over 90% of Canadian communities. CPRA collaborates with a host of other national organizations operating in the recreation, physical activity, environmental, facilities, sport, public health, crime prevention and social services arenas. Over the course of its 60-year history, CPRA has become a credible and strong national leader in our sector. In addition to our advocacy on the benefits of parks and recreation, we provide our members with the information, resources and the professional development they can use to make a difference in their own community. Through broad-based community involvement, we find solutions to social challenges, influence policy direction and generate momentum towards community quality of life.

CPRA is grateful for the contribution and support of:

  • Canadian Women and Sport
  • The Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute
  • High Five
  • The amazing speakers, presenters and behind the scenes facilitators of our webinars, workshops and community practice. You will see their work in the pages of our toolkit (special shout out to Moji Akande and Caroline Wiley)
  • The individuals who participated in our Expert Working Group: Erica McDonald, Erin Hamilton, Ann Pegoraro, Janessa MacPherson, Belinda Morale Smith, Mary Chow, Stuart McReynolds, Denise Beard, Caroline Sparks
  • Mary Chow (HDR Architects) for diving right in and joining the team to deliver workshops, training and overall great advice and expertise
  • Nancy Dubois (DuBFit Consulting), without whom this project would barely be possible!

This project has been made possible by the Government of Canada, through initial funding from Sport Canada and further funding from Women and Gender Equality.
