Impact of COVID-19 on the recreation, physical activity, and community sport sectors

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on all facets of society. Of particular importance to CPRA and the sector is the negative impact that the pandemic has had on the recreation, physical activity, and community sport sectors, comprised of facility operators, program planners and service providers, among others.

Federal, provincial, and territorial governments recognized the importance of responding to these unprecedented challenges and changes. In partnership with CPRA, the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Physical Activity and Recreation Committee (FPT PARC) developed and hosted a two-part, expert speaker series for the public sector, developed and delivered between December 2021 and March 2022.
