As our social resilience faces unprecedented challenges, the role of community centres is more critical than ever. This webinar explores how these spaces and the areas around them can become powerful infrastructure for the human spirit. Rather than relying solely on bigger budgets, we’ll highlight how creativity and imagination can elevate community centres into hubs that foster connection, belonging, and resilience.

In partnership with the Schulich School of Business, this program focuses on the three pillars for successful leadership: Communication, Strategic Management and Political Acuity.

Recreation staffing is complex, yet many organizations rely on generic scheduling tools that create hidden costs, inefficiencies, and workforce frustration. Managing shared staff, certifications, varied roles, and pay structures often leads to manual workarounds and errors. Participants will gain practical insights to evaluate technology more strategically, reduce errors, and improve staff experience.

Join us as we celebrate knowledge, creativity, and discovery in parks and recreation. We’re calling all trailblazers to connect, innovate, and shape the future of our communities. Registration opens February 19!
