June is Recreation and Parks Month, an exciting way to increase awareness of the value and important benefits of recreation and parks to individuals, families and communities.

“Hike it or Bike it,” the 2012 theme, will bring focus and raise awareness about the tremendous trails and pathways communities across Ontario have.
