Sport, culture and recreation activities add life to communities. The value of these activities come alive through the work of the volunteers, the workers and the councils dedicated to making their communities vibrant. 2019-2020 was a good year for the Parkland Valley Sport, Culture and Recreation District lead by the support we get from our communities and organizations.

We continue to have strong uptake on our programs and services allowing the organization to achieve the strategic outcomes. As you will read in this report, we have great participation from communities, organizations and people. As an organization we will continue to strive to meet the needs of those we serve.
