Ontario Parks Association (OPA) is pleased to share our support for the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) and their recently released statement regarding the 2025 Federal Budget.
The CPRA’s statement highlights the importance of continued investment in parks, recreation, and community well-being across Canada. These priorities align closely with OPA’s mission to protect, promote, and enhance parks and open spaces for the benefit of all Ontarians.
We encourage our members, partners, and supporters to read the full statement from CPRA and to consider reaching out to their local Members of Parliament (MPs) to express their support for this important initiative.
