The Recreation and Parks Association of the Yukon (RPAY) is a non-profit society dedicated to empowering Yukon people and communities to adopt active, healthy lifestyles. RPAY works collaboratively with organizations and communities creating environments, which encourage recreation and parks opportunities for all Yukoners. The organization’s extensive programs and services are supported by its territorial, Northern, and national multi-sectoral partnerships with groups, communities and governments.

Our goals are to:

1. Influence attitudes around the benefits of active living, recreation and parks for health and wellbeing.
2. Support active, accessible, inclusive, and culturally-relevant recreation experiences that encourage lifelong, winter, and rural Yukon participation.
3. Strengthen community-based, recreation leadership through training, certification and professional development for practitioners and volunteers.
4. Operate effectively and efficiently using sound business practices and partnerships to foster sustainability.
