Introducing the Canadian Parks, Recreation and Sport Infrastructure Database Webinar

 The database centrally collates information about parks, recreation, and sport facilities across Canada, including location, size, amenities and age. This information drives additional insight provided by built-in:

• Dashboard highlighting infrastructure and facility metrics and benchmarks, including flexible and per capita counts at the national, provincial/territorial and local levels. 
• Movement Mapping module illustrating the casual, typically non-measured, use of active environments over time and across periods of the year.
• Community Profile Mapping illustrating populations, health, and wellness demographic profiles at neighbourhood, city, and provincial/territorial geographies across the country.
• Ability to make infrastructure comparisons across provinces, territories municipalities, and neighbourhoods.  
• Determine the proximity of facility provisions to various equity-deserving populations and demographic groups.

With thousands of sports and recreation sites and facilities across Canada, it is common to find a specific site with missing, incomplete, or incorrect data in the database. Therefore, we encourage you to add and update the site and facility information owned or operated by your organization and for any site or facility you frequently visit.

The Canadian Parks, Recreation, and Sport Infrastructure Database is a shared database where all users benefit from the shared quantity and quality of infrastructure data contained.
