The Northern BC Recreation Association evolved from a 1982 Northeastern BC group of recreation practitioners and volunteers who began meeting to organize and implement regional networking, leadership training, programs, and coordinated community events. The intent of the group was to share information and experiences regarding facilities, programs, leadership, special events, and to assist with local community development.
In later years, when theBritish Columbia Recreation and Parks Associationrestructured to strengthen regional membership through the formation of regional liaisons and provincial representation, the responsibility of representing the BCRPA in the Northeast was accepted by the Northeastern group of recreation personnel.
The NBCRA then sought the representation of the Recreation Facilities Association of BCto further the strength of recreation development, training and operations to assist with the organization. It was then established as the responsibility and overall mission of the NBCRA to have regional networking along with provincial representation from the BCRPA and the RFABC.
The Northern BC Recreation Association was incorporated May 6, 1992 as a forum for association members to regularly meet to conduct business, and enhance the wellbeing of communities and individuals by promoting recreation and leisure in the Northeast region of British Columbia.
