Community Recreation Plan (CRP) Grant |
The Community Recreation Plan (CRP) Grant aims to provide an opportunity for small, rural communities (populations under 5,000) to engage in planning processes and to create an overall framework to guide the development, delivery and continuous improvement of sport, culture and recreation programs, services and facilities. |
|
|
|
Facility Inventory Champions (FIC) Program |
This program builds capacity to do long-term planning for recreation infrastructure, so communities can identify priorities and needs and ensure that facilities remain viable and sustainable over the long term.
“This was a real eye-opening experience. You do not realize how many items are housed within the facility and how old some of them are until you get into this process. I would highly recommend it to all facilities. We will look into getting this done for some of the other facilities in our community.” – 2020 FIC Recipient

ED Blog: Transforming Meetings...Instead Of Just Tolerating Them |
Isn’t is crazy how much time we spend in meetings as volunteers and leaders working in grassroots sport groups, arts organizations and recreation boards and committees? Monthly meetings clog our calendars - they last too long, they don’t start on time, and they wander off track! |

Culture Days registration will open in May! 4 weeks of arts and culture experiences indoors, outdoors, and online.
Arts and culture emerged as a lifeline of joy, providing gifts of colour, hope, and reprieve needed to make it through this past year. Collectively, we’re imagining what a post-pandemic world could look like and how we can each contribute to that picture being brighter. Through that lens, Culture Days has chosen RE:IMAGINE as the very apt 2021 theme.

National Volunteer Week 2021 - April 18-24, 2021 |
The National Volunteer Week theme for 2021, The Value of One, The Power of Many, reflects on the awe-inspiring acts of kindness by millions of individuals AND the magic that happens when we work together towards a common purpose. This past year, we have seen people supporting family, friends, neighbours, and strangers, people standing up to systemic racism, and people sharing insights on how to create a more just and equitable society. We recognize the value of the caring and compassion that each one has shown another, and we recognize the power of people, organizations, and sectors working together.
