At the special general meeting of CPRA on June 22nd, 2009, a new governance structure for the association was adopted which resulted in the creation of a national alliance of provincial and territorial partners. Each P/T partner has identified a representative (and alternate) to sit on the CPRA Board of Directors and three meetings of the new Board have occurred: by teleconference on July 14th and September 29th; in person on October 27/28 immediately preceding the annual conference of the Alberta Recreation and Parks Association. We are very pleased to report positive progress to our general membership across the country.
