This year's PROntario Educational Forum and Trade Show was held in the lovely cottage country of Huntsville, ON, 2 hours north of Toronto. Xplor Recreation was a proud sponsor and attendee at the premier annual Canadian parks and recreation industry event.
The Deerhurst Conference Centre was buzzing with a multitude of inquiries and discussions through 4 busy days in 45,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space. Parks and Recreation Ontario strives to be a leader in policy at all levels by providing top quality recreation and park opportunities, to enthusiastically support the wellbeing of patrons through quality programs and services, and in ensuring quality standards through participants' holistic health.
Xplor Recreation kept busy speaking with fellow recreation directors, recreation and parks managers, community development staff, health promoters, and conservation authority staff. The country-themed education forum spanned across parks spaces, remote issues, active living, professional administration, program trends, management, and facility infrastructure and design. Likewise to the diverse forum, workshops provided hands-on learning opportunities for all attendees, kicking off with a focus on childhood development in mental health training and methods for creating positive learning environments.
A first for us at PRO, Xplor Recreation presented a workflow automation speaking session. Vahid Shababi, Xplor Recreation Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Business Development was joined by guest panelist, Hussein Kurji, Manager of IT of the Richmond Olympic Oval. Attendees witnessed the platform in action during the Software Vendor's Stream. The Stream was hosted over 2 days and also included an interesting panel discussion.
Our account executive, Colleen Mah, caught up with our Eastern clients. From Bracebridge, Burlington, Huntsville, Statford, to Halton Hills and Milton, the familiar faces kept her engaged and smiling among many new ones. The whole team later donned their dancing shoes to attend the event's charming country dance and elegant gala dinner.
We'd like to congratulate lucky Scott Virgin, Customer Service Rep, City of Burlington who has won our draw prize! Enjoy that Apple TV!
