Port Hope Celebrates Recreation and Parks Month and Seniors Month

Each June, communities across Ontario celebrate June is Recreation and Parks Month (JRPM) and Seniors Month.

Recreation and Parks Month

JRPM is recognized by municipalities, community organizations, and schools as a way of promoting the benefits of being active and recognizing the contribution that recreation and parks make to quality of life. This initiative, launched by Parks and Recreation Ontario, reminds us that access to parks and recreation is a fundamental human need that helps foster personal health, strong communities, and social inclusion. JRPM celebrates Ontario’s spectacular parks and recreation services and raises awareness for the role they play as a pathway to individual, community, and environmental well-being.

Our Parks, Recreation and Culture staff have planned some great free activities for the community. Visit our Seasonal Activities webpage for more.

Recreation Survey – Say How You Play

In 2021, we completed a 10-year Leisure Services Master Plan to improve our recreational facilities and services. To ensure our future projects match residents' current needs, we're conducting a quick poll. We invite you and your family to share your thoughts on upcoming recreation projects. Your feedback will help us prioritize and make decisions to enhance our community's recreation options.

Seniors Month

June is also Seniors Month in Ontario. It’s a time when we recognize our amazing older adults and the contributions they make in communities across the province. This year's theme is ‘working for seniors’. We have planned a full schedule of activities to celebrate the amazing older adults in our community.
