IDEA Statement

PRO acknowledges that systemic racism, ableism, 2SLGBTQQIA+ phobias, sexism, and other forms of identity-based discrimination are prevalent across our province.

While we believe that parks and recreation spaces should be welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to all, we recognize that this has never been the case. PRO is committed to advancing inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility across our sector.

Our efforts include a learning journey, wherein staff and the Board of Directors engage in critical dialogue about the ways in which parks and recreation may perpetuate various forms of prejudice and discrimination. We approach our work with an intersectional lens, centring inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in all our professional development services and advocacy efforts.
