"Working in the field of recreation has impacted both my life and career by understanding the importance of what recreation can do for people. Having gone through the Langara Recreation Studies program, it has helped me grow as a leader both personally and professionally. For me, I believe in living life to the fullest while being focused on passion, laughter, and teamwork every day while bringing people together to strengthen the community. I believe that children and youth need to remain active through sport and have role models to look up to and I make sure that children and youth are reaching their full potential and help create opportunities for them to strive to be the best they can be. Working in the field of recreation is both exciting and challenging. We have the opportunity to impact people’s lives for the better- and it is something that I look forward to every day. Without having gone through the program, I would not be in the position of where I am today to make this happen.
The Recreation Studies program provides students the experiences (both practical and non-practical) needed to work in the rec field so that they are able to jump right in and work in the field of recreation by bringing people that are passionate about what they do to help others experience High-Quality Recreation programs.
The Rec program not only has helped me advance within the field of recreation but has allowed me to take on more challenging and difficult roles within recreation. The Recreation Studies program is crucial for anyone who is interested in a career in recreation."
