Approximately 140 recreation volunteers and professionals from our communities spent the weekend in Brandon.
Russ Dyck from Steinbach attended. Dyck says one of the sessions he attended was on sustainable development and energy efficiency. He says there is a lot of new technology out there and he will keep these ideas in mind for future building projects. Dyck says Lesra Martin was a really interesting keynote speaker who talked about encouraging youth to get active in the community. Another thing he learned is the importance of getting kids involved in numerous sports and not to focus on only one until they get older. Dyck says attending this conference is a great way to network with other communities and find out what others are doing.
