Program Development focuses on advocacy and determining the needs and resources to support community volunteers. We work closely with communities in our district to enhance our programs and our programming tools to develop partnerships.
Activity Lending Library
The Activity Lending Library focuses on leisure, recreation and outdoor family activity items. The goal of the program is to allow residents to try a new recreation activity or practice an old favourite!
It will also:
Connect families with nature.
Make recreation more accessible for everyone.
Keep families active and entertained during the prairie summer months.
Build community in your neighbourhood.
Apply to help create an outdoor leisure kit in your community!
The Activity Lending Library – Summer Leisure Edition will open May 1, 2025. Please make sure to read the Guidelines before applying.
Take the Lead is a FREE program that works to create and enhance leadership skills while promoting active play.
There are two options for Take the Lead:
Youth Leader Training – created for youth aged 11 – 14, this training empowers youth to deliver active, fun and safe play opportunities for their peers and younger children.
Leadership Coach Training – for adults such as teachers, coaches and program leaders. Leadership Coaches gain skills to help support Youth Leaders and to facilitate future Youth Leader training.
Forever…in motion helps older adults become physically active in their local community through volunteer, peer or staff led physical activity groups.
Leader Training is required to run these groups. Workshops on becoming a Trainer can be hosted in your community! Please contact Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association for details on how to get trained. SPRA will provide manuals, resources, administration and can support you by coordinating the workshops, trainers and leaders.
