TRAINING & EDUCATION
RPAN believes that building recreational capacity in communities is one of the top priorities needed in Nunavut. RPAN is working hard to provide training and educational opportunities for all its communities and members.
The Recreation and Parks Association of Nunavut is dedicated to serving communities across Nunavut to increase access to quality, organized recreation programs to enhance the physical and mental well-being of all Nunavummiut.
RPAN annually hosts a Recreation and Leadership Conference to support the ongoing need for professional development, certification and networking in the recreation and sport sector across Nunavut.
The 2025 Recreation and Sport Leader Conference is scheduled for October 3 – 5 in Iqaluit, NU.
