The Recreation for Life Foundation believes
that recreation plays an essential role in
establishing a high quality of life for Canadians
from coast to coast. We envision a collective
community that proactively uses recreation and parks
to "enhance individual well being and community
vitality, economic sustainability and natural
resource protection and conservation."
To help celebrate the value of recreation, four
Canadian artists were commissioned to create a
series of limited edition signed prints which
capture elements of recreation, parks and play
familiar to all Canadians.
We are excited that the series is complete and we
are able to make all four pieces available to you
individually or as a complete package. By purchasing
and displaying Recreation for Life Foundation
Limited Edition Prints you will be demonstrating
your support for the development of recreation and
parks in Canada, and the benefits of creating
healthy, vibrant communities. Do not let this
opportunity pass you by. Through our generous
sponsors, these prints are made available to you at
greatly reduced rates. Each print comes with a
Certificate of Authenticity.
