Recreation and Parks in Saskatchewan: 1985-2010 is Your History!
The challenge of history is to recover the past and introduce it to the present - David Thelen
The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association is excited to release a history book commemorating the last 25 years of recreation achievements in Saskatchewan.
Recreation and Parks in Saskatchewan, 1985-2010: A Perspective from SPRA picks up where the previous history book, Saskatchewan’s Recreation Legacy, by Roy Ellis and Elva Nixon, ended in 1985.
The official book launch took place at the 2011 SPRA Conference and AGM in Saskatoon and we were honored to have many special guests in attendance to commemorate the event including: Howard and Elva Nixon, Rene and Peggy Marleau and Lyle Lensen.
