Story

The goal of the Recreation and Leisure Services program is to improve the quality of life for all citizens by developing healthy communities. Leisure service professionals are front-line practitioners in direct contact with program participants. They have many roles including leaders, teachers, group facilitators, advocates, referral workers, counselors, outreach workers or coaches. In addition, they have strong leadership skills and are able to establish programs, prepare budgets, market activities, recruit, train, assign and evaluate teams of volunteers.

Centennial is the only college in Ontario that features an extensive supervised field placement program, which allows for development of critical practical skills through integration of classroom learning into real life situations. The program’s curriculum also reflects current recreational focus on wellness, culture and heritage.
