Safe Parks for Summer Workshop

In an effort to help parks and recreation deal with safety and liability concerns associated with summer, the Safe Parks for Summer workshop was developed.

This workshop has been extremely popular when presented from Honolulu to Newfoundland through such groups as the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association, PRO, NRPA and the Public Risk Management Association.

We are very pleased to advise that on Tuesday, April 19 the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport is hosting this workshop at their offices at 102 – 112 Research Avenue, in Saskatoon.

This workshop will cover many areas of summer risks including:

* Trails
* Playing fields, playgrounds
* Pools, beaches and waterfront safety
* Campgrounds
* Skate parks
* Use of Signs
* Summer programs….and more
