Advocacy Priorities

In our continuous effort to champion the recreation and parks sector, the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) has identified several key advocacy priorities that are critical to advancing our mission and enhancing the impact of our work. The list of priorities is informed by a combination of valuable feedback received from our members, initiatives already underway, and the recommendations in CPRA’s pre-budget submission shared with the Finance Committee in advance of the development of Budget 24. These priorities align with sector needs and objectives, ensuring that our efforts contribute constructively to broader public objectives while directly benefiting communities across Canada. By addressing these priorities, CPRA aims to lead transformative change and advocate effectively for policies that support the sector and by extension, the health and wellbeing of Canadians and the communities in which they live. By definition, this list of advocacy priorities is fluid and flexible based on the evolving landscape.
