Description: The Ontario Recreation Facilities Association (ORFA) was formed in 1947 as a not-for-profit organization. With a focus in raising awareness of regulatory compliance requirements through education that includes industry best practices and guidelines to our 7500 plus members. The intent is to raise operational compliance above minimum expectation of all governing authorities legislated requirements that are associated with recreation facilities. The presentation will focus on a variety of topics that includes:
- Understanding the ORFA’s structure, vision, and mission.
- Why ORFA professional accreditation pathways help prove recreation professional’s competency in regulatory compliance responsibilities thus reducing the potential for liability.
- Raising awareness of the looming aging recreation facility infrastructure crisis and the pending risks associated with this issue.
- The risk and challenges of using recreation buildings as emergency shelters and the rising risk of homelessness impacting recreation operations and management.
- Cemeteries – the final park, and what ORFA is providing in this increasing operational challenge to reduce risks, and liabilities in these greenspaces.
