2022 Research eSummit Legacy Page

The Canadian Parks Collective for Innovation and Leadership (CPCIL)—with support from Parks Canada and the Canadian Parks Council–hosted a Virtual Research Summit. By holding a virtual event, we decreased our carbon footprint, increased accessibility for participants, and supported social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sessions were offered with simultaneous French/English interpretation. Recordings are available below on this page.

Alternatively, search eSummit recordings and other resources by topic through the CPCIL resource page and knowledge base.
