2020 SPRA Conference

Together Towards Tomorrow!

Join us from November 18-20, 2020 for a virtual experience of our SPRA Conference and immediately afterwards on November 20-21, 2020 for SaskFit!

The Conference will feature informative and positive sessions with truly unique presenters that will leave you feeling motivated, inspired and eager to influence change in your home communities. The sessions will focus on the goals of the National Framework for Recreation in Canada (Framework) and incorporate them in the educational sessions and presentations on Active Living, Inclusion and Access, Connecting People and Nature, Supportive Environments, and Recreation Capacity.

Our Conference theme of “Together Towards Tomorrow” expresses a desire for everyone in the recreation and fitness industries to come together and support one another, for everyone to work towards bettering ourselves and our communities, and encourages everyone to look optimistically to the future and be prepared for it.
