OUR HISTORY

Established in 1980, the Haida Gwaii Regional Recreation Commission (HG Rec) is a registered non-profit society. It was created to build and support island-wide recreation and leisure programming. With our goal being to build healthy individuals, families and communities, we provide quality recreation programs, services and events that enhance the quality of life for all Haida Gwaii residents.

HELPING OUR COMMUNITY GROW TOGETHER

OUR COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE

Incorporated March 20, 2001, Haida Gwaii Recreation is structured to pursue grants and additional funding from non-government and community recreation-based grants, program fees, donation and other sources. Commission membership and Society directorship are reviewed yearly at Annual General Meetings.

Community members interested in becoming a Commissioner or Member-at-Large must submit a letter of intent outlining their interest and experience in recreation to the Commission at least seven (7) days prior to the Annual General Meetings.
