The Canadian Parks and Recreation Association is seeking your input to an on-line survey regarding gender equity and how it is related to facility design and use. The survey is described in more detail below.
The purpose of this survey is to understand how best to support recreation professionals in designing facilities, scheduling programs and facility use and creating policies that support gender equity. This survey is part of a broader Environmental Scan being conducted by consultants working with the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association, with funding support from Sport Canada.
Who should complete the survey? Staff and volunteers working in recreational facilities such as those operated by municipalities, First Nations Communities, Boys and Girls Clubs, YM and YWCA’s and private owners. People in different roles within the same organization are encouraged to complete the survey independently from one another. Please feel free to forward the survey to anyone else to complete.
CPRA will be drawing two names/emails to receive an Indigo gift card ($25) for completing the survey. Please provide your email address at the end of the survey.
