The Federal-Provincial/Territorial Physical Activity and Recreation Committee (FPT PARC), in partnership with the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA),

The series will explore emerging evidence on the impacts of the COVID‑19 pandemic on society and movement behaviours, with regard to possible policy implications and strategic opportunities for physical activity and recreation as Canada responds to and emerges from the pandemic. The value and role of physical activity and recreation in strengthening population health and community vitality will be highlighted, demonstrating how investments in physical activity and recreation can contribute to the broader success and productivity of communities (e.g., economy, environment, cohesion).
