2. Public Sector
Public sectors are identified as facilities that’s
main priority is to serve the community to
enhance the quality of life and well-being
(Lunn, 2021). Characteristics to identify a
public sector are taxpayer revenue, with some
including user fee’s, recreation creativity such
as art and fitness (Lunn, 2021). Public sectors
also play many important economic roles that
can affect our community such as providing
jobs to our locals that stimulate the economy
(Lunn, 2021).

6. Commercial
Sector
Commercial sectors can be identified by more
of the business appeals it brings for the
community. Commercial sector recreation is
quoted as “recreation for which the consumer
pays and for which the supplier expects to
make a profit” (Lunn, 2021, p. 6). Commercial
recreation is still very beneficial to a
community as it creates employment
positions, adds recreational variety and
increases home values (Lunn, 2021).

7. Commercial
Sector
Example #1
BC Prep
Address 15358 67 Ave Unit 107, Surrey, BC V3S 7C6
Commercial
Sector
This is a commercial sector as it provides specific recreation
that must be paid for in order to use their facility. It has also
created employment opportunities and increased local
businesses around the area.
SPSC 2210
Connection
Recreation- This is a recreational example because provincial
government guidelines define that “ to stimulate the
economic development through leisure” (Lunn, 2021, p. 4).
This facility provides private training specialized in youth
basketball, fitness and soccer for the public community at
high fees. This facility also stimulates the economy as it
employs trainers for it’s specified skill development.

Commercial
Sector
This is a commercial sector as it is identified as their
clientele send their children to this school are doing so at a
cost that benefits the organization (Lunn, 2021).
SPSC 2210
Connection
Physical Education- This is a physical education example
because recreation is only being provided to those who
are willing to pay the schools tuition fees (Lunn, 2021).
Surrey Christian also affects the economy as more
residents are likely to move here since private schools are
more exclusive, which ultimately drives up the home
prices around the community.

and the facility, there must be an admission paid for.
SPSC 2210
Connection

falls under one of the three types of recreation which
is “indoor commercial recreation” (Lunn, 2021). This
facility is open to the general public and is great for a
social night with family to whomever will pay the
admission fees for their exclusive new movies.

10. Voluntary
Sector
The voluntary sector or “non-profit” is a vital
part of the community as it usually has its own
members giving their time for service and
keeping the community strong (Lunn, 2021).
Characteristics of this sector are identified by
the profit generations which are just enough
to cover costs and it focuses on fundraising to
invest in their leisure and recreation
programs/facilities (Lunn, 2021).

11. Voluntary
Sector
Example #1
YMCA (Basketball)
Address Various elementary schools across
Surrey.
Voluntary
Sector
This is a voluntary sector as the proceeds to
participate in the league all go to essential costs
(referee, gym rental) and that is one of the most
important characteristic of this sector (Lunn,
2021).
SPSC 2210
Connection
Coaching- This is a coaching example because all the
coaches that are hired are not receiving any financial
gain and often league fees can be subsidized based off
the financial situations. This falls under the category
“athletics and sports” as this league focusing on
investing in the future, (youth) invest in leisure and
rely on members (coaches) (Lunn, 2021).

Voluntary

This is a voluntary sector because of the opportunity it
allows people in the community to be apart of such as
youth fitness for no profit.

Connection
Coaching- This is a coaching example because of the
requirements it meets such as heavy assistance it requires from
the community as coaching students on various sports and
games is volunteer work with no financial gain (Lunn, 2021). It
also relies on donations through its sponsorship with Canadian
Tire. This program is free to the children after schools, it is an
excellent way to give back to the community and impact the
youth as I experienced firsthand volunteering for this program!

not have the luxury of playing for their own. This organization

around the community to promote a healthy lifestyle and
wellbeing which are all attributes for voluntary sectors (Lunn,
2021).
