CPRA has launched the Canadian Parks, Recreation and Sport Infrastructure Database, the first database specifically designed for the recreation and parks sector. RNS members can use this database by both entering and accessing essential facility and demographic data to better understand and convey how your facilities contribute to the health and wellbeing of your communities.
CPRA is looking for RNS members to support the project by entering their community's facility data or updating information that is already there.
Benefits of this database inlcude:
- A database that is pre-populated with some facility information made available through Statistics Canada.
- A simple user interface, letting you easily update existing facilities and add new ones.
- Quickly accessing information on key health indicators using built-in demographic data.
- A movement data layer providing a picture of how people use your outdoor parks and facilities hour-by-hour.
- A dashboard allowing you to compare facility provision levels within your community or with communities of a similar size and profile.
- The database being used as an indispensable tool for reports to council, budget and project planning, and feasibility studies.
