June is Recreation and Parks Month

June is Recreation and Parks Month (JRPM) is a movement that promotes the benefits of recreation and parks for physical, social, and environmental health. East Gwillimbury (EG) and communities across Ontario have embraced JRPM to promote local events, parks, and facilities for everyone to enjoy!
