Canadian Parks and Recreation Association

Purpose

This 27 months project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) will achieve this by scaling up its current training by delivering webinars in four critical areas to community base professionals and practitioners, by building an online community of practice, implementing initiatives, as well as designing and hosting an interactive toolkit. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change. CPRA will support positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, while addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
