The most rewarding aspect is the fact that parks and recreation activities provide positive opportunities for people of all ages and socioeconomic levels.

The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association continues to be a leader through the development of the Framework for Recreation in Canada and a leader in the province through the SPRA Strategic Plan. My involvement with the Board provides the opportunity for me to expand my professional network while influencing the provision of parks and recreation services in Saskatchewan and beyond.
What do you like to do for fun?
I like to play golf and hockey and spend quality time at many of Saskatchewan’s parks and lakes.
What does recreation mean to you?
Recreation to me is an essential service as it serves as a major contributor to the quality of life for residents and an economic impact driver for the business community.
What advice would you give to people considering becoming an SPRA Board member?
The experience gained by becoming an SPRA Board Member will provide you with a valuable professional development opportunity. It is a privilege to work with the professional network of SPRA Board and staff and the experience you gain will assist you in achieving success through your future employment endeavours.
