HIGH FIVE, developed by Parks and Recreation Ontario (PRO) in 1994, is a comprehensive Quality Assurance Process for children's recreation and sport programs.

Using a systematic approach to quality assurance, HIGH FIVE is designed to promote the healthy development of children 6-12 years.

After reviewing the literature and research, and consulting with leaders, experts and children, the HIGH FIVE program was developed. Based upon principles of healthy child development, HIGH FIVE combines training, assessment tools, resources, public education and collaboration to ensure children have the best possible sport and recreation experiences.

Since May 2002, RNL has been the Authorized Resource Provider of select HIGH FIVE resources. Through this partnership with Parks and Recreation Ontario (PRO) the Association has been able to offer a variety of quality resources to recreation and sport practitioners. In April 2004, the Association entered into an Authorized Training Provider agreement with PRO.

Through assistance provided by the Recreation and Sport Division, RNL has developed as series of HIGH FIVE training events.
