The Alberta Association of Recreation Facility Personnel (AARFP) is excited to host their 45th annual conference and trade show, The Bridge to Recreation.

This conference is the perfect opportunity to connect with key stakeholders in the same industry who share your passion, face similar issues and have solutions to your questions. This event is designed for all recreation managers, directors, operators, coordinators, foreman, leads, administrative assistants, and all professionals who want to strengthen our recreation community. 

With over 30 education sessions, numerous trade show exhibitors, and inspiring keynote speakers, recreation professionals will take away information that will help them bridge recreation within their communities.

The conference will be held in Lethbridge on April 21-24, 2024, with attendance by 250-300 delegates in recreation operations from all over Alberta and a few from British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories.

You'll be able to pick your sessions early in the New Year. If you have questions, please email or call us.

REMINDER: You must be a current AARFP Member to Register
