About RPO
Recreation Professionals of Ontario was formed in 1984 by a group of Activity Professionals in Central Ontario who were interested in providing a forum for education, networking, and standard setting.
Since 1984, RPO has been recognized by the Ministry of Health as a professional group for leisure/recreation providers.
RPO was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1992. An established board of directors represents all regions in Ontario. Members of the board of directors and executive are elected officials from the RPO current membership.
