The NWTRPA Conference is an opportunity for recreation leaders, on the land leaders, health care staff, students, youth, Elders, youth centre staff, and volunteers from across the territory to discuss trends and issues in recreation and on the land programs, and receive training related to programming and leadership.

As we continue through a period of change and resilience, the NWTRPA continues to adapt to bring us one step closer to what would be a “normal” conference. This year our annual conference will focus on Celebrating Northern Strength. 

This year, we are offering three streams at the 2021 Annual Conference: Recreation Leadership, On the Land, and Elders in Motion. In accordance with the Chief Public Health Office, each of the conference events are limited to 25 people. We know that our streams of Elders in Motion, On the Land, and Recreation Leadership are all key training and educational opportunities for you. We also know that Bright Spots is a favourite. 

This year we made the decision to dedicate one day to each of these streams, plus an evening event to celebrate Bright Spots! This will allow you the opportunity to register for one or more streams (days), as well as Brights Spots and the AGM.

We hope that the 2021 conference is a space of learning, growth, and personal connection for you. Thank you for joining us this year, as we all continue to display our strength in moving towards the future.
