It’s vital that our recreation infrastructure is renewed on an ongoing basis. British Columbians need this valuable resource for future generations. Our parks, pools, arenas and community centres form the hearts of our communities. These places are where people gather for neighbourhood celebrations, where they cheer local sports heroes, and where they go to learn new skills and take part in physical activity. BCRPA's new report, “A Time for Renewal: Assessing the State of Recreation Facilities in British Columbia’ has found that 68% of our infrastructure is at least 25 years old. Funding must be made available to renew our recreation infrastructure so that it can meet changing community needs, become more energy efficient, continue to support active healthy lifestyles and ultimately remain important and sustainable in our communities. At the request of its members, the BCRPA has set recreation infrastructure renewal as a top priority and is implementing an advocacy campaign with government officials to bring awareness to the issue and gain the support and commitment needed to initiate action on this pressing problem.
