                                VOYAGEUR

CANADIAN PARKS / RECREATION ASSOCIATION 50th JUBILEE SYMPOSIUM

AUGUST 12-16 1995 OTTAWA

A golden opportunity to participate and share your expertise!

The Canadian Parks and Recreation Association will be celebrating its 50th
Anniversary in 1995 and the host community, Ottawa, extends an invitation to 
all professionals, practitioners, academics, politicians and volunteers to 
participate in this special celebration.

The theme "Voyageur" was adopted for historical and visual reasons, linking 
our past to the present, reflecting Canada's bold exploration and rich 
cultural diversity. "Voyageur" suggests adventure, breaking new ground, and a 
poetic and sensitive engagement with Canada's vast landscapes. 

At this golden celebration, we will recognize our growth and achievements, 
strengthen our links with our partners in culture, health and tourism and 
build our vision for the future. This Symposium will be bilingual.
