Celebrating Parks Day: Everyone Outdoors Together Food & Program Visioning

Art Borups Corners is hosting a community BBQ and participatory visioning event as part of Everyone Outdoors Together, a national initiative led by the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) for Parks Day, July 18, 2026.

Everyone Outdoors Together is a national Canadian movement that encourages residents to step outside and connect with nature simultaneously. In Borups Corners, this event will be a local gathering of friends and neighbours with hot dogs, refreshments and community coming together.

The evening centres on a community BBQ where people can eat, listen to music, and spend time together outdoors in an open, informal setting. Alongside the BBQ, participants are invited to take part in hands-on creative activities including pottery, mapping, and storytelling. Through these activities, people contribute to a collective understanding of how local parks and greenspaces function today and how they can evolve into more useful, inclusive, and engaging public spaces shaped directly by community input.
