Recreation North has designed a training program based on thirteen competencies that are essential for leading in community recreation. If you live in Yukon, NWT or Nunavut, and work or would like to work or volunteer in recreation, this Program is designed for you.
We have a variety of learning options. There is now the option of registering for one or more learning events. There is also the option to work towards 3 different Certificates: Northern Recreation Leadership, Northern Recreation Management, and Northern Youth Recreation Leadership. (Most will complete the Certificate in Northern Recreation Leadership and then Certificate in Northern Recreation Management.) We now also have a pathway to the Canadian Parks and Recreation Professional Development Certification.
RPAN supports Nunavummiut leaders to participate in the Northern Recreation Leadership and Northern Recreation Management certification programs by offering full scholarships.
Youth leaders that complete RPAN program training and employment are eligible to receive the Northern Youth Recreation Leadership certificate.
