Summer Starts Now.
_______________________________________________________________
June is Parks & Recreation Month in Nova Scotia, a time to recognize and celebrate the tremendous contributions recreation makes to our health, well-being, and quality of life.
June is Parks & Recreation Month (JPRM), back for 2024 and marks the start of summer. We believe recreation is a feeling, so this year, we'll explore the root of what recreation is and we invite you to play along and show us what recreation is to you as part of our annual contest!
SHOW US WHAT RECREATION IS TO YOU!
Head to our Facebook page and post your photo of what recreation is
to you in the comments of our pinned Facebook post for a chance to win an RNS swag bag!
To qualify for the contest:
- You must be following RNS on Facebook
- Submissions must be in by June 30, 2024
- The winner will be announced on July 2, 2024

By entering the contest, entrants agree that photos submitted can be used by Recreation Nova Scotia for communications/marketing purposes.
