2024 Bursary Recipients

Amanda Dean

Amanda has been in recreation most of her career, from a Summer day camp leader with Pacific Sport to Recreation Program Coordinator with the District of Summerland she found a true passion for the recreation field and getting people active. When Amanda's not working you can find me outdoors hiking, biking, or taking care of her little hobby farm alongside her 2-year-old daughter. Amanda loves being outdoors and connecting with others in sport and recreation. She recently started a graduate certificate program in Recreation Management through the University of Alberta. Her goal in competing this certificate is to bring best practices back to her small-town recreation department to help ensure our aging infrastructure can continue to be maintained and upgraded to provide the best possible recreation opportunities to the community she lives, works and play in. Amanda is so honored to have the CPRA backing her education journey and can’t wait to see the influence and change she can make through out this process.
