Public, Private, and Volunteer sectors in my community

1. Public Sectors

2. Poirier Sport and Leisure
Complex (633 Poirier Street
Coquitlam, BC V3J 6A9)
Community Centers are an example of a
public sector. This sport and leisure complex
is able to provide “Fitness, sport, age-related
programs, events, arts, leadership, etc.” that
could “enhancing the quality of life and well-
being of citizens” (Lunn, 2020). This is
connected to recreational because it is a
municipal center, and receives funding. By
receiving funding, they are capable of
providing “affordable and quality recreation
programs,” (Lunn, 2020) to the people around
the area.

3. Mundy Park (641 Hillcrest
St, Coquitlam, BC, V3J 6N9)
Parks are an example of the public sector.
Having parks in communities can “provide
those opportunities deemed valuable by
society” (Lunn, 2020). Mundy park includes a
variety of recreational activities, which include
sport fields, walking trails, outdoor swimming
pool, etc. This is a recreational example
because the municipal is able to provide a
place for recreational activities to happen.
Without the maintenance of these sports field
and the whole park, people’s recreational
needs would not be fulfilled.

establishment in the commercial or private
sector. It is apart of the commercial sector
because it targets “specific market group” and

to certain athletes. Saltus is connected to
coaching and physical education. Many
athletes In this academy are able to get
“unique product and services” (Lunn, 2020)
by learning various exercises for strength
with different equipment. Coaching is also
related because weight lifting requires well
prepared coaches to coach. Without proper
guidance, athletes could easily get hurt over
time.
