Thank you for joining us!

Parks Professional Pathways happened February 24 to 28, 2020, in Langley. Over 300 parks professionals from all over the province attended certification workshops and education sessions over the course of 5 days! We welcomed new and familiar faces, including planners, managers, specialists, technicians, and entrepreneurs. This was our biggest conference yet (this was our 43rd parks conference!!) — thank you!
