welCOMe FROM the PlAnnInG COMMItteeGreetings to our Colleagues,
We are thrilled to welcome you to Symposium 2019. We chose a theme this year that we hope you find as deeply meaningful as we do: Making It Matter. It showcases the
tremendous impact each of us in recreation and parks roles is having in our communities.
This Symposium, set in the stunning mountains of the Resort Municipality of Whistler, offers us more opportunities than ever before to connect and learn from one another. The program we
developed also supports each of us to truly ‘walk the talk’ by integrating recreation, physical activity, healthy living, and nature right into our conference experience.
Here are a few of the highlights we can’t wait for you to enjoy:

GIL PENALOSAParks and Other Public Spaces: CreatingVibrant&HealthyCommunities for AllCommunities around the world are facing challenges including economic uncertainty, pressure around population growth, the effects of climate change, and public health crises. Parks can help to address all of these challenges, while also contributing to local culture and social integration. Using specific examples to focus on the various challenges mentioned above, success stories of parks from around the world and their impacts on local communities will be shared.
An emphasis will also be placed on the importance of community involvement. When evaluating the success of a city, an important measure is looking at how wetreatourmostvulnerablecitizens:thechildren,olderadultsandlowerincomegroups. When evaluating a park system, the same tools should be applied. To getanaccurateevaluation,wemusthonestlylistentothecommunity.Citizenengagementisvitalthroughouttheentireprocess.Inordertomaximizethebenefits that park systems can bring, we must develop broad alliances with manygroupsincludingelectedofficialsfromalllevelsofgovernment,amulti-departmental public sector staff, universities, civil society, businesses, media, etc. A shared vision and commitment to action are essential to “moving from talking to doing.”
GIL PENALOSA is passionate about creating cities for all people; vibrant cities and healthy communities for everyone regardless of age and social, economic, or ethnic background. Gil is the founder and chair of the internationally recognized Canadian non-profit organization 8 80 Cities. Before immigrating to Canada, Gil was Commissioner in Bogota. He holds an MBA from UCLA’s Anderson School of Management where he recently was selected as one of the “100 Most Inspirational Alumni” in the school’s history. In 2015, Gil received a Doctorate Honoris Causa from the Faculty of Urban Planning at the prominent Swedish university, SLU. Last year, Gil was listed in Planetizen’s Top 100 Most Influential Urbanists.

F1 The Alive Workplace — Putting Life back in Work/Life Balance | Linda Edgecombe — Frontenac A
Busy – The New Badge of Honor – is costing Canadian and US Companies over $188 Billion per year in stress-related illnesses and accidents. We’re all just so “BUSY”thesedays.“Slammed.”“Buried,”infact.Desperatelytryingto“keepour heads above water.” “Up to my ass in alligators.” All of these are common responses to “How are you?” Oh, and if you don’t want to say any of the above, “fine,” is usually the runner-up response. It’s a constant exchange, even a one-up attempt of just how much we have on our plates when we communicate to others about our work and home lives. In this workshop you will take an honest lookathowALIVEyouareathomeandatwork.Don’tworry,changehasneverbeen this painless.
