🟠 On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, CPRA recognizes that this day is about more than reflection, it's about change. Real reconciliation means action: listening to Indigenous voices, addressing the harm caused by residential schools, and building a future where Indigenous communities are respected and supported.

At CPRA, we're committed to doing our part, in our work and in the communities we serve.

Every Child Matters.

🟠 En cette Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation, l’ACPL reconnaît que cette journée va au-delà de la réflexion, elle appelle au changement. Une véritable réconciliation passe par l'action : écouter les voix autochtones, reconnaître les torts causés par les pensionnats, et bâtir un avenir où les communautés autochtones sont respectées et soutenues.

À l'ACPL, nous nous engageons à faire notre part, dans notre travail et dans les communautés que nous servons.

Chaque enfant compte.

🛝 Playground safety starts with the people who plan, build, and maintain them.

CPSI is bringing in-person training to Winnipeg and Kingston this October 5-8. Whether you're new to playground inspection or renewing your certification, this hands-on course gives you the tools to identify hazards and keep play spaces safe for kids across Canada.

🌳 More green space in our cities? We love to see it!

Burlington is moving forward with plans for two new neighbourhood parks at Cooke Boulevard and Almonte Drive, and residents will have a say in what these spaces look like!

Creating more opportunities for people to connect with nature, be active and gather in their communities is a huge win. Even better when the people who will use these spaces get to help shape them!

We’re excited to see these parks take shape. 🌿

🌳 Plus d’espaces verts dans nos villes ? On adore ça !

Burlington va de l’avant avec des projets visant la création de deux nouveaux parcs de quartier sur Cooke Boulevard et Almonte Drive, et les habitants auront leur mot à dire sur l’aménagement de ces espaces !

Offrir davantage d’occasions aux gens de se rapprocher de la nature, de faire de l’exercice et de se retrouver au sein de leur communauté est une formidable avancée. C’est encore mieux lorsque les personnes qui utiliseront ces espaces peuvent contribuer à leur conception !

Nous avons hâte de voir ces parcs prendre forme. 🌿
