The Institute of Environment and Recreation Management was established in 1936 to allow municipal managers who are responsible for the management of public parks, open space and recreation facilities to network with each other.
The organisation is a non-profit, common-law association owned and controlled by the municipalities who are its members.
In particular, the institute strives to provide the following benefit for its members:
1. Networking opportunities.
2. Lobbying government, politicians, industry and stakeholders.
3. Taking an active leadership role in the industry.
4. Influencing, facilitating and promoting Training and Development.
6. Maintaining and creating International Alliances.
Papers and Presentations from the 2011 Convention are now available
