The Alberta Recreation and Parks Association (ARPA) has undertaken work on an online survey instrument for the above noted initiative, which has been made possible through a grant received from Mountain Equipment Co-op. The survey has been developed so as to seek input on strategic matters pertaining to children and youth and their perceived lack of engagement/connection with nature (the out-of-doors).
It is our intention that the Canadian Recreation and Parks Association (CPRA) partners and their members across the country will complete this survey, creating a broader understanding of the existing circumstances, programs and perceived gaps, in outdoor recreation and nature education opportunities for children and youth.
Please find below a link to an online survey designed to seek input on strategic matters pertaining to children and youth and their perceived lack of engagement/connection with nature.

The survey should take between 20-30 minutes to fully complete. The survey does not have to be completed in one session as you can click in the top right corner of the survey to save your progress (an email will be sent to you with a link to continue). We will be making a draw for five $100 gift certificates from Mountain Equipment Co-Op (MEC) from the individuals who complete the survey.
A link to the survey is listed below. This survey will only be available online until the end of day on March 12th, 2010.
The findings from this survey will be presented at a session at the Parks and Recreation Educational Forum and National Exchange in Niagara Falls in April. The findings will also be posted on the Lifestyle Information Network (www.lin.ca) following this event.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this important survey!
