The Four Policy Priorities
The Issue Verticals are the federal policy areas where coordinated sector advocacy can shift decisions. They are the focus of the Issue Vertical Champions track, and they shape the issue-specific briefings in the Leadership Cohort.
Infrastructure and capital investment. The condition, capacity, and reach of the recreation and parks infrastructure that communities depend on.
Workforce development. The people who plan, deliver, and lead the sector's work, and the pipeline that sustains them.
Resilience and crisis preparedness. The role of recreation and parks in community resilience, emergency response, and recovery.
Physical activity and participation. The conditions, programs, and access that allow more Canadians, in every community, to be active in their daily lives.
Each vertical is supported by a content partner who brings subject matter expertise and a capacity partner who supports delivery and engagement.
