Program Overview

Using the therapeutic recreation process, recreation therapists work with persons with physical, cognitive, emotional and/or social limitations to acquire and/or maintain the skills, knowledge and behaviours that will allow them to enjoy their leisure optimally, function independently with the least amount of assistance and participate as fully as possible in society.


The goal is to enable all individuals to achieve quality of life and optimal health through meaningful participation in recreation and leisure. The profession recognizes the importance of the recreation experience and supports all individuals in having full access to and the freedom to choose recreation and leisure opportunities.


Through field placements and community volunteer experiences, students receive valuable hands-on learning. Through these opportunities, students further develop their skills in assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation. They will also have an opportunity to receive specialized training as part of the course curriculum.
