12. What I have learned
This course adventure has opened my eyes to the many services within the three service sectors talked
about. Public, private and voluntary sectors all work for the public by fulfilling needs of their consumers
and accounting for their interests. Recreation, coaching and physical education are found in different
ways throughout the three sectors and encourage positive lifestyle choices. All levels of government play
a part in servicing the community. Altogether this course adventure was very fun and educational.
