Recreation North Training Program
The Recreation North Training Program offers a variety of learning events (mini-courses) that develop competencies – essential knowledge and skills – for working and volunteering in community recreation across the North. The training is designed for individuals living in Yukon, NWT or Nunavut as well as those living in rural or remote parts of the provinces.
The Training Program offers several learning pathways. Register for one or more core or advanced learning events (mini-courses). Earn a Certificate in Northern Recreation Leadership and/or Management. Carry on to obtain your Professional Development Certification with the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association through our northern pathway beginning in 2023. Training is offered on an annual cycle from September to May. Click here for the upcoming schedule.

"I loved sharing ideas with other people who work in recreation across the north. Learning with other Northerners was SO worth it! Anybody doing recreation in the North should register for a Rec North learning event as soon as they can."

"I will use the information I learned from our Community Profile to help implement creative programming that actually 'fits' and impacts target groups."
