About the Program

In our rapidly changing society, leisure and recreation are recognized as essential components of healthy communities and improved quality of life. As well as enhancing the lives of individuals and families, recreation and leisure positively impact on community development, environmental preservation and management, economic growth, as well as social growth and cultural development.

In this way, recreation and leisure offer significant benefits to a society trying to meet many new and diverse challenges. Now, with more awareness than ever around changing social structures, preventive health strategies, environment management and education, community safety, cultural diversity, and an aging population, careers in leisure and recreation are in high demand.

There is an ongoing need for trained professionals and managers who understand the value and benefits of recreation and leisure. These are people like you, who are prepared to accept these challenges and make a difference in your community. Recreation service managers and professionals play an important role in positively transforming Canadian society. Join us and make a difference, too.
