🗳️ Every community has places, spaces and programs that bring people together.

If recreation disappeared tomorrow, what would your community miss most? 🏒 The arena? 🌳 The park? 🏊 The pool? 🚲 The trails? ⚽️ The playground? Or the programs that bring us together?

💚 Recreation belongs to everyone.

Not everyone experiences access to recreation in the same way. Cost, transportation, accessibility, location and the availability of programs and spaces can all create barriers.

🏘️ Municipal decisions help shape these experiences. When you vote tomorrow, consider how candidates address access, inclusion and opportunities for everyone to participate in your community.

🗳️ Before you vote, make recreation part of the conversation!

From parks and trails to arenas, pools and community centres, municipal decisions shape the recreation opportunities in our communities.

Ask your local candidates these five questions to learn where they stand, understand their priorities and help keep recreation on the agenda this election.

Your community. Your questions. Recreation matters.

What does your municipal council have to do with recreation? More than you might think!

From parks, trails and playgrounds to arenas, pools and community centres, local decisions shape the places where recreation happens.

Investment, maintenance, access and community needs all play a role in what gets maintained, improved and supported.

🗳️ This municipal election, ask your candidates: What role will recreation play in your community?

When we say recreation, what do you picture? 🌳🏀

It’s more than organized sport.

It’s where we move, play, gather, explore, connect and belong.

It’s the parks, trails, playgrounds, programs and community spaces that bring people together and help make our communities stronger.

And many of these opportunities are shaped by decisions made right here in our communities.

🗳️ With the election coming up, take a moment to think about what recreation means to you and the role it plays in the community you want to live in.

Because recreation is more than an activity. It’s part of what makes a community a community.

💚 World Mental Health Day | October 10

Recreation is about more than physical health, it’s also a powerful way to support our mental well-being. 🌿

Whether it’s going for a walk, playing a sport, spending time outdoors, trying a new hobby, or connecting with others, recreation gives us opportunities to pause, reset, reduce stress, and recharge.

Sometimes, taking care of our mental health starts with making time for the things that bring us joy, help us feel grounded, and remind us to slow down.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s celebrate the role recreation plays in helping us feel good, inside and out. 💚

Make time to move. Make time to connect. Make time for you.

🧡 Every Child Matters
On September 30, Recreation Manitoba recognizes the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.

Today, we remember the children who were taken from their families and communities, honour Residential School Survivors and recognize the lasting impact of the residential school system.

🧡 Every Child Matters. This day is an opportunity to listen, learn and reflect on the experiences of Indigenous children and families, while continuing to build communities where every child is valued, supported and welcomed.

We encourage our members, partners and communities to take time today to learn, reflect and consider the role we can each play in reconciliation.
