Keynote Speakers
Wednesday, May 6 | 10:15 — 11:30 am
Tim Gill
No risk, no reward —
liberating the bubble-wrapped generations
Children’s health and wellbeing are being undermined by the
growth of risk aversion. Excessive adult fears and anxieties
restrict children’s play and leisure choices, limit their freedoms
and damage their relationships with the people and places
around them. Tim’s talk will make the case for a more balanced,
thoughtful approach to risk and for a vision of childhood that
places resilience and everyday adventures centre-stage.
Thursday, May 7 | 9 — 10:10 am
Brenda Robinson
Managing multiple and changing priorities
Managing time and managing stress are now all about
managing priorities. The days of getting it all done have been
replaced by getting the important things done. We will never
catch up again and we need to change the way we view that.
Workload management has replaced time management.
Learn new strategies for planning, handling interruptions,
responding to changing priorities, dealing with the information
invasion and working positively in stressful settings. Work with
quality time on quality tasks for quality results.
Friday, May 8 | 1:15 — 2:15 pm
Jim Diers
Lessons from the global neighbourhood movement
Jim Diers has been working with hundreds of communities in
17 countries. Increasingly, he is observing that crises related to
the economy, democracy, climate change and more are causing
individuals and governments to rediscover the unique value of
community. Jim will share inspiring stories from throughout
the world to illustrate the potential of community to address
the key problems facing our society. He will argue that the
recreation and parks sector is best positioned to support the
community building movement in British Columbia. Jim will
challenge us to make the most of this opportunity by working
in ways that are neighbourhood-centred, strength-based, and
community-driven.

to know the exhibitors and sponsors. You’ll also

project using the most amount of exhibitor and
