Join the League of Leaders! Building on over fifteen years of parks systems leadership training, the Canadian Parks Collective offers a series of online and in-person collaborative development programs. We help you apply your leadership skills by exploring specific issues facing parks and protected areas and applying them to real-world challenges. Programs include an eight-month Park Leaders Development Program, Park Leadership Accelerators, and Park Leadership Primers.
All CPCIL programs build a pan-Canadian network of Park Leaders who can support each other—and their organizations—long after programs conclude.
The Canadian Parks Collective for Innovation and Leadership is a project of the Mount Royal University Institute for Environmental Sustainability and is funded by the Canadian Parks Council and delivered in partnership with Mount Royal University’s Institute for Environmental Sustainability, in collaboration with Royal Roads University, the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University, and Université de Moncton.
