Saskatchewan Proclaims June As Parks and Recreation Month
The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed the month of June as Parks and Recreation Month in partnership with the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association.
The SPRA is inviting everyone to celebrate with their families and friends in parks and recreation spaces. The SPRA provides leadership, support and services that contribute to recreations' impact for Saskatchewan residents.
“Saskatchewan’s parks and outdoor recreation environments are as diverse as the people who benefit from them. This June, we encourage everyone to enjoy the outdoors and connect on common ground. Everyone belongs in parks and recreation.”
The Sask Lotteries-funded parks and recreation delivery system provides thousands of recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. This includes the Regional Park Pass Lending Program, which grants free access to Saskatchewan's regional parks through a partnership between the Saskatchewan Library Association and the SPRA.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Sask Lotteries, who utilize lottery proceeds to support over 12,000 sport, culture and recreation programs, services and initiatives throughout the province each year.
