North Huron Celebrates Recreation and Parks Month

NORTH HURON, ON (June 4, 2024) – Each June, communities across Ontario celebrate June as Recreation and Parks Month (JRPM). JRPM is recognized by municipalities, community organizations, and schools as a way of promoting the benefits of being active and recognizing the contribution that recreation and parks make to improve quality of life.

Access to parks and recreation is a fundamental human need that helps foster personal health, strong communities, and social inclusion. JRPM celebrates Ontario’s spectacular parks and recreation services and raises awareness for the role they play as a pathway to individual, community, and environmental well-being.

This year’s theme is ‘Community Thrives Here’. An activities calendar has been created to encourage the North Huron community to venture out across the Township to explore our parks, trails, landmarks, and community hubs. “Grab the family and get out there! Have some fun exploring recreation in North Huron,” says Reeve Heffer.

QUICK FACTS

The Township of North Huron requests your input through our Community Recreation Engagement Survey. To download the calendar and complete the survey, please visit www.northhuron.ca.
