Facts about IAKS Canada

IAKS Canada is a working group established in 2024. Our primary goal is to create a forum where recreation facility professionals can connect with each other, learn new insights, and exchange perspectives at a global level. We are also actively involved in trying to build a greater awareness of IAKS activities in Canada, and building strategic relationships with other Canadian partner organizations.

Canada is a large, diverse country. Some of the key topics that we deal with at a national level include capital funding models, advancing Truth and Reconciliation initiatives, response to municipal Climate Change commitments and inclusive facility design. In response to these issues Canada has developed a unique perspective on recreation facility design and operation that we have to share back to the broader global community.
