Bill > HCR183

This concurrent resolution, a formal expression of opinion from both the Vermont House of Representatives and Senate, recognizes July 2026 as Park and Recreation Month in Vermont and designates July 17, 2026, as Vermont Park and Recreation Professionals Day. The resolution highlights the importance of park and recreation programs in Vermont communities for promoting active lifestyles, protecting the environment, serving as economic resources, and supporting therapeutic services for individuals with disabilities. It also notes the history of July being designated as Park and Recreation Month nationally, starting in 1985, and receiving support from the U.S. House of Representatives in 2009. The Secretary of State is directed to send a copy of this resolution to the Vermont Recreation and Parks Association, an organization likely involved in promoting and supporting these programs.
