June is Recreation and Parks Month!
Celebrate June is Recreation and Parks Month (JRPM) by getting active and playing outdoors!
St. Albert has an abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities and throughout June, residents are encouraged to try new activities, and explore the parks and trails. Recreation promotes mental, physical, and social health benefits for people of all ages, and it helps bring communities closer together.
See below for fun ideas on how to get active outdoors this June and win some great prizes!
