Hopping on the trend đźš‚

The image comes from ChatGPT when I asked,
"Create a caricature of me, my job, and my passions based on everything you know."

After which I asked,
"If you were introducing me to someone new, how would you describe me and the work I do?"

ChatGPT said:
"I’d introduce you like this—clean, accurate, no fluff:

This is Toby.
He helps recreation, parks, and community-serving organizations use AI without blowing up trust, privacy, or staff morale.

Most teams are already using AI informally—drafting emails, policies, job postings, reports—often without leadership oversight. Toby steps in before that turns into a risk problem. His work focuses on AI literacy, governance, and practical workflows so staff save real time, leaders stay in control, and communities don’t become test subjects.

He’s not a hype-driven “AI guy.” He’s a translator between technology and public service—showing non-technical professionals how to use AI ethically, calmly, and with clear guardrails. The outcome is less burnout, fewer mistakes, and more time spent on actual people and programs.

If your organization wants AI to reduce friction instead of adding chaos, he’s the person you talk to first."

AI is making scams and impersonation more believable.
If you work in recreation, parks, or community services, this is a safety issue. Not a “tech trend.”

A simple rule that reduces the risk immediately:
Use a “second channel” verification step for anything involving money, sensitive data, or exceptions.

If you want to talk through practical guardrails, staff training, and an “adopt AI safely” checklist, reach out and I’ll share what’s working.

Staff across parks & recreation, and community services are already using AI to draft emails, reports, policies, and public communications.

The risk isn’t using AI.
The risk is publishing AI output without a final human check.

This bulletin-board checklist is designed for Canadian nonprofit and public-serving organizations to help staff pause, verify, and take responsibility before anything goes public.

A cold night didn’t stop them.
Nonprofits. Municipal staff. Community builders.
All ready to dig into what AI actually means for their work.

Live demos hit hardest.
Hands-on practice is what they want next.
Safety + clarity = where 2026 is headed.

Huge thanks to the Spruce Grove team for making this event happen.
Onward!

Grateful this Thanksgiving for an incredible year — launching AI for Recreation Professionals and connecting with nearly 1,000 community service professionals across Canada through workshops and presentations.

Each conversation reinforces that AI in recreation isn’t about replacement — it’s about empowerment, efficiency, and ethics.

It was a pleasure to present “AI Made Simple: Practical Tools for Non-profits” at BLC 2025!

Thank you to everyone who attended the session and brought thoughtful questions and curiosity into the room. I hope the demonstrations and discussions gave you a meaningful head start—and I can’t wait to see how you use AI to amplify your work. 💡

It was my pleasure and privilege to present “AI at Play: Doing More with Less in Recreation” at REC | CON 2025 hosted by Recreation NB | Loisirs N.-B.
While I wasn’t able to attend in person, I’m so grateful to have been included virtually—as a floating head in a room full of smiling, curious, and thoughtful faces! A special thank you to the team at Rec NB for the incredibly kind speaker’s care package—I found it waiting for me after returning from an out-of-country trip, and it was such a welcomed and heartwarming surprise. 💛
As a longtime Recreation Professional and AI Educator, I’m encouraged to see more organizations across the country stepping into AI literacy with purpose and curiosity. Recreation professionals are being asked to do more with less—navigating tight budgets, growing populations, and aging infrastructure—so it’s vital we explore tools that can support that work without compromising care or community.
Through CivicPlay.ai, I support Recreation Professionals and Organizations in building confidence with AI—helping folks navigate this space with strategies that are actionable, aligned, and approachable. From automating administrative tasks to optimizing scheduling and engagement, AI has a real role to play in helping us create more resilient, thriving communities.
Thank you again to everyone at and all who joined the session. I look forward to seeing your next steps with AI from the conversations we started.

“When did you become an AI expert?”
“Last night.”

That was the vibe at — where we explored AI wins, fails, and why leaders must lead.
AI can save time and boost inclusion — if used with care.
