| Sport and Recreation Integration
Project
The BCRPA has committed to help create stronger relationships
among community sport groups and municipal recreation departments
through the Sport and Recreation Integration Project.
The first phase of the project included regular meetings with
a Task Group during the spring of 2007 which lead to a half
day task group workshop in June 2008. Through this workshop
the participants were able to define the goals of the project
and identify challenges and opportunities that existed.
They then took this one step further by identifying and prioritizing
strategies that could address some of the challenges.
At the end of the process there was a clear understanding
that further stakeholder engagement was needed as the Task
Group as a whole made up only a small sampling of the stakeholders
involved in this process. Thus, it was determined that
targeted interviews with grass roots level representatives
would be undertaken in Phase Two A.
BCRPA working with BC Ministry of Education
on Daily Physical Activity Requirement
BCRPA is working in collaboration with the Ministry of Education
to determine how community recreation organizations can work
with secondary schools to support students in meeting their
Daily Physical Activity (DPA) requirement. The DPA was mandated
for students starting in September 2008 across the province.
Seed Grant Communities (February – June 2009)
DPA Planning Grants were small funding opportunities (up
to $2,000) intended to be stepping-stone funds to support
cooperation between community recreation organizations and
secondary schools. The purpose of the grants were to bring
stakeholders together to discuss, learn and plan for cooperative
action to increase access to physical activity opportunities
for grade 10-12 students.

Pilot Communities (February – June 2008)
Seven communities partook in the pilot projects to provide
grade 10-12 students with the opportunity to meet the requirements
of DPA through existing or newly created programming provided
by the community recreation centres. The pilots provided an
opportunity for the BCRPA’s members to strengthen their
connections with the education sector and helped to identify
opportunities for the community recreation centres to participate
in DPA on a broader scale.
