Building healthy, active and creative lifestyles through sport, culture and recreation.

November 2024

Thank You!

The Lakeland District for Sport, Culture and Recreation is a volunteer based non-profit organization. The Board of Directors are responsible for developing the Mission, Vision and Values of the organization. They set the policies and procedures that govern the organization and develop the strategic plan that guides the Lakeland District in the work we do.

Our Board members also play a significant role in providing guidance to the LDSCR staff by contributing to our culture, strategic focus, effectiveness, and financial sustainability, as well as serving as ambassadors and advocates for sport, culture and recreation.

Volunteers are one of our most valuable assets and we would like to thank the LDSCR Board of Directors for their continued involvement, dedication and support.

Lakeland District is taking the months of December & January to celebrate successes across the district! If you have someone in your community or organization that is an exceptional volunteer in the sport, culture and recreation sector please take a moment and submit a nomination to have them included in this campaign.

Nomination Deadline November 30th!
