JPRD is gearing towards an exciting year with even more exciting initiatives to project our department into a more diverse and engaging division for employees and the public. In 2021, the department had seven initiatives: the model playground, JPRD mobile application, enhanced website, streamlined training system for employee coaches and volunteers, the appointment of a safety administrator, year-round sports academies, family participation programming, and submitting maintenance work tickets via a handheld device.

For 2022 JPRD has decided to reduce the number of initiatives to focus on more significant projects and change. In addition, the department separated initiatives and goals that all live under one umbrella.

The 2022 JPRD Next-Level Initiatives are:
Employee- Public Engagement
The JPRD Brand
Game Day Experience
Non-Traditional Public Engagement

Following the more significant initiatives are the departmental goals that JPRD will complete symbiotically with the initiatives. The 2022 departmental goals are:
Internal Communication and Employee Morale
The Well-Rounded Employee
Capital Projects Tracking
Increase Participation Rates
Consistent Playground Maintenance
Lafreniere Park Pavilion Restoration
Parc des Familles Revenue-Generating Programming
