ReImagine RREC
Renew, Retool, Engage and Contribute
|
Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) recently announced ReImagine RREC – renew, retool, engage and contribute.
In line with public health guidelines across the country, recreation, parks and community sport services must be supported in the following ways to help Canadians reconnect to healthy opportunities:
- Renew services so Canadians can renew their health and social connections by getting back to daily movement– indoors and outdoors.
- Retool policies, programs and services to keep staff and participants safe and sustain their essential contribution to community life.
- Engage existing and new clients and allies with a view to serving all community residents, in particular those most impacted by COVID-19.
- Contribute to innovative solutions for a return to a vibrant, healthy and meaningful community life that builds on long-standing success.

Moosomin Staying Active This Winter |
Saskatchewan’s cold and brisk winters can make it easy to stay inside and forget to be active, but not for Moosomin’s long-serving Director of Parks and Recreation, Mike Schwean.
For 30-plus years, Schwean has been a visionary and ambassador for recreation, winning the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association President’s Award of Distinction in 2020 for his efforts in enhancing a large recreational presence in Moosomin for years.
Through his tenure, Schwean has successfully administered recreation throughout Moosomin by expanding community facilities and building relationships with local businesses. Schwean’s focus has been on solidifying recreation as an integral role in the social fabric of the community and residents’ quality of life.
Even in a challenging year, Schwean continues to work through indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities.
The Peter Nahbholz Circle Skate Way has “iced” the idea of not getting outdoors this winter. Five hundred yards of flooded roadways are now ready and have brought the community together for some physically distanced fun.
