SPRA has a long history of collaboration with the Government of Saskatchewan, dating back over 50 years!

What do you get when you mix a municipality with an underused recreation facility and a club that is looking for space to expand their passion? They find common ground and form a partnership.   

Hello. My name is Brian Chmarney and I’m excited to have joined SPRA Team as the Grants and Funding Assistant Consultant.

As part of our Regional Recreation Practitioner Pilot Program, we’ve been working with area partners to support and mentor recreation staff in three areas of the province.

A special message from our new President to kick off the new year!

Recreation practitioners are some of the most well-connected people in your community. It is a role that is more than the operation of facilities and delivery of programs. They are community builders. They are quality-of-life specialists. Collaboration simply comes with the gig!

For the past 27 years, SPRA has been fortunate to have the tireless leadership, innovation, and dedication of Randy Durovick on our Team. Although we are sad to be losing his passion and extensive knowledge of our recreation industry, we join Randy in celebrating his retirement on November 30, 2023, and the exciting prospect of his full-time 'life of leisure.'
 

Jody Boulet, past SPRA President, and I were honoured to represent Saskatchewan at the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) Advocacy Day on the Hill in Ottawa on October 17, 2023.
