3. Public Sector:
Colebrook
Elementary School
Colebrook Elementary School is one of the one hundred and four
elementary schools in the Surrey School District. My mother has
been a primary grade teacher for the last few school years at this
school and has enjoyed the community. This school year with
covid, there are about ten classroom divisions with about two
hundred and twenty-four students. The teachers are required to
teach both indoor and outdoor physical education throughout
their school year as a part of their curriculum. The school’s sports
teams are known as the Colebrook Eagles and their slogan is
“The Sky’s the Limit.” Prior to covid, the students were “invited
to participate in a variety of athletic activities” (Colebrook, 2021)
and all of the coaches were either staff or parents that
volunteered their time. This is an example for the public sector as
the school is “necessary for society,” focuses on the “general
public,” as well as has numerous “sport and age-related
programs [with] leadership [opportunities]” (Lunn, 2021, p.3). In
relation to SPSC 2210, this public sector example is a
combination of recreation, physical education, and coaching as
there is appropriate promotion of “health and well-being” (Lunn,
2021, p.4) to young individuals by their teachers and volunteer
adults through different sport alternatives.

4. Public Sector:
Panorama Ridge
Secondary School
Panorama Ridge Secondary School is one of the twenty
secondary schools in the Surrey School District. It is the feeder
secondary school for various surrounding elementary schools,
including Colebrook Elementary School. This school has a French
immersion program and about one fifth of the students are
enrolled in that program. Just like other districts, the teachers are
required to teach both indoor and outdoor physical education as
a part of their curriculum, despite the language program that the
student is registered in. Due to the larger enrollment number of
students, there is a larger variety of sports teams for students to
participate in and most require try-outs. The school is known
best for being Provincial Champions in soccer for many years.
This is a public sector example, as the public schools are “usually
free [and] fees are subsidized,” (Lunn, 2021, p.3). In relation to
SPSC 2210, this public sector example is a combination of
recreation, physical education, and coaching as students have
access to opportunities for recreation are for everyone, no
matter financial status or “persons with physical or mental
disabilities,” (Lunn, 2021, p.4) and teachers instruct ways as to
how to apply physical education on a daily basis.

5. Public Sector:
Surrey Sport &
Leisure Complex
Surrey Sport and Leisure Complex (SSLC) is one of the
few recreation centres currently open in the City of
Surrey during the Covid-19 pandemic. The facility
features are; various indoor pools, weight rooms,
fitness studios, and an attached ice arena. This is a
public sector example as there are many safety
protocols which the complex is required to follow in
order to establish “a healthy lifestyle to the user[s]”
(Lunn, 2021, p.3). The facility is paid for by “taxpayer
and user fees,” (Lunn, 2021, p.3) as the clientele is the
general public. In relation to SPSC 2210, this public
sector example is primarily connected to recreation as
there are programs available and accessible that target
the hobbies of all members of the community along
with “opportunities deemed valuable by society”
(Lunn, 2021, p.3).

6. Public Sector:
South Surrey
Indoor Pool
South Surrey Indoor Pool is one of Surrey’s smaller
indoor swimming pools. As a City of Surrey aquatics
employee, I have worked a few shifts at this pool.
Despite being one of the older pools in the city, I
enjoyed working there and the clientele are great! This
space “is essential to a person’s physical and social
well-being and to [their] overall quality of life” (Lunn,
2021, p.5) as the one pool has space to swim
continuously laps, participate in fitness classes, as well
as chat with others. The clientele at this facility is
primarily older individuals that do not like to commute
far to a recreation centre and are happy with the fees
and scheduling of indoor pool space. Therefore, this is
a public sector example and in relation to SPSC 2210, is
connected to recreation which delivers to the desires
and needs of the community.

7. Public Sector:
Chuck Bailey
Skatepark
Chuck Bailey Skatepark is a “concrete park with a
large skate plaza” as well as has a “covered area
[which allows for] wet weather riding and skating”
(Skatepark Tour, 2021). It’s surrounding environments
also a part of the community are the Chuck Bailey
Recreation Centre and the BC Lions Training and
Business Centre. Thus, this is a public sector example
as it allows for individuals to take part in physical
activity outdoors in “an urban park or open space”
(Lunn, 2021, p.3). In relation to SPSC 2210, the
skatepark is connected to recreation as it “plays a
significant role in the creation of cohesive and quality
communities” (Lunn, 2021, p.5) considering its
location within Surrey.

8. Private/Commercial Sector:
WRASA
The White Rock Amateur Swimming Association (WRASA) is one
of the top competitive swimming clubs in the lower mainland.
They continually top “the podium at BC Provincial
Championships” while acknowledging that “the part the kids
remember is… having fun, making friends, and achieving the
goals they set [for] themselves” (Wrasa, 2021). I also grew up
swimming competitively and have competed against this swim
club, it was always evident that all involved with this association
put in a lot of effort and dedication to the sport. As there are
fees for each swimmer for each season they train and compete
in, this is an example of the private/commercial sector. Their
service is “based on demand” from the community and exhibits
a “high level [of] training” for “anyone who can afford” to join
(Lunn, 2021, p.6). In relation to SPSC 2210, this connects mainly
to coaching as participation requires the additional fees and the
coaches are all paid to coach. I remember all my swimming
coaches as being a large part of growing my motivation and self
confidence from children to adulthood while swimming. The
association also rents pool space on a daily to weekly basis from
the City of Surrey in order to swim at the Grandview Heights
Aquatic Centre, if the club was put on by the city then it would
have been considered recreation as well.

9. Private/Commercial Sector:
Morgan Creek Golf Course
Morgan Creek Golf Course provides “an experience
you will never forget” (Morgan Creek Golf, 2021)
whether you choose to go golfing, attend a wedding,
or go for drinks with friends and family. They provide
the option for online bookings for their “quality
products and services” (Lunn, 2021, p.8) and have
covid safety plans put in place in order to remain open
as they are in the private/commercial sector. In
relation to SPSC 2210, this is connected to commercial
recreation “as part of the broad leisure industry
[which] results in both positive and negative effects”
(Lunn, 2021, p.7). With its location being relatively
close to White Rock, many tourists and locals all stop
for a round of golf and/or drinks on a nice day.

10. Private/Commercial Sector:
Black Belt Academy
Black Belt Academy is an indoor space that has
“karate for kids classes” and “martial arts for adults”
(Try Karate, 2021) that is an example of being apart
of the private/commercial sector as it “serve[s the]
public good of some kind” (Lunn, 2021, p.6). By
having classes for those of all ages, it allows for
individuals to relieve stress and anxiety through
their body in an organized and safe manner. In
relation to SPSC 2210, this academy connects to
commercial recreation as there has been an
increasing change “in the market for recreation and
leisure” Lunn, 2021, p.7) as individuals want to learn
to protect themselves or others if unwanted
circumstances arise.

11. Private/Commercial Sector:
Panorama School of Dance
The Panorama School of Dance located is an indoors
studio zone that “is recognized as a leader in quality
performing Arts [that provides] a caring environment
[to promote] personal development in areas of dance
education, poise, self confidence, health and fitness”
(Panorama Dance, 2021) for primarily young females
and males. This studio is in the private/commercial
sector due to the fact that it focuses on youth and is
“primarily for profit” and provides “specialized
service” (Lunn, 2021, p.6). In relation to SPSC 2210,
this studio is also connected to commercial
recreation as it “recognize[s] leisure and recreation
trends” (Lunn, 2021, p.8) for flourishing adolescents
to articulate their feelings and emotions without
verbal expression.

12. Private/Commercial Sector:
LIT First Aid & Lifeguard Training
LIT First Aid and Lifeguard Training is a company that
“offers all the first aid and lifeguard courses [needed] for
fulfilling [a] career in aquatics.” They use facilities in
“Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Langley,
Abbotsford, Port Coquitlam, Mission, West Vancouver,
and White Rock” (LIT Aquatics, 2021). I have taken a
majority of my aquatic courses through this company and
have always had knowledgeable instructors. This is an
example of the private/commercial sector since their
clientele is focused towards “like-minded individuals
[and] can be at community centres all the time and/or
seasonal” (Lunn, 2021, p.9) in order to obtain various
certifications required for specific jobs. In relation to
SPSC 2210, there is a combination of recreation,
coaching, and physical education that this company
demonstrates through the hands-on physical instruction
by paid instructors and is at recreation centres for
members of any community to take despite their age.

13. Non-profit/Volunteer Sector:
Tong Louie Family YMCA
The Tong Louie Family YMCA is a non-profit organization that
depends heavily on its members and donations, making it a part
of the non-profit/volunteer sector. I have worked at this YMCA
location for over three years in various departments and am
extremely proud to say so! “The Y has always been there for
people to get the support they need, be healthy and connect
with the community” (GV YMCA, 2021). At the Y, we “rely on
members [that] know their membership, [and] focus on
fundraising” (Lunn, 2021, p.10) and do not turn anyone away if
they are unable to afford the services we provide. Prior to the
pandemic, we had more services such as fitness classes, aquatics
classes, childcare and more, sadly many of those are still on
pause. However we have many returning families which still use
the facility’s gym and equipment. I personally love the Y as we
have such a strong community with our staff and members, it is
ultimately such a positive environment to be in association with.
In relation to SPSC 2210, the YMCA connects to recreation as we
are seen as a recreation centre to our community and
“international… and local economic conditions affect the ability
of people to spend for recreation and leisure.” (Lunn, 2021, p.7)
in order to keep themselves busy.

14. Non-profit/Volunteer Sector:
The Centre for Child Development
The Centre for Child Development is a centre that
provides and “offers specialized expertise in a
number of areas including: child care/preschool,
eating skills, occupational therapy, physiotherapy,
recreation therapy,” and more.(The Centre, 2021).
They are a non-profit organization thus making
them a prime example of the non-profit/volunteer
sector. They depend on donations for their facility,
“seek public sector assistance,” as well as “target
specific age cohorts” (Lunn, 2021, p.10) for
improving youth’s well-being. In relation to SPSC
2210, this centre connects to a combination of
recreation, coaching, and physical education since
there are educated instructors in the community
that volunteer their time and knowledge to helping
and coaching youth. The physical education aspect
comes into play both literally and figuratively as the
centre believes in play-based activities and exercises
to develop necessary skills for children.

15. Non-profit/Volunteer Sector:
R.E.C for Kids Society
R.E.C for Kids Society was formed in 2007 with the
idea of collecting “used sports and recreational
equipment that could be refurbished and repaired
and then redistricted to underprivileged youth…
throughout local communities” (R.E.C for Kids Society,
2021). Considering that the society is an “organization
under the B.C Society Act that has registered
charitable status. Registered with the Canada Revenue
Agency” (R.E.C for Kids Society, 2021) therefore
making it a part of the non-profit/volunteer sector.
“They rely on the efforts of members and volunteers
for sustained survival” (Lunm, 2021, p.10) to be able
arrange the donated equipment to children. In
relation to SPSC 2210, there is connection to
recreation in consideration of the society’s
partnerships with cities such as the City of Surrey as
they focus on building strong communities in making
activities more accessible. There is focus on sustaining
efforts “now and into the future” (Lunn, 2021, p.10).

16. Non-profit/Volunteer Sector:
Pegasus Surrey Football Club
The Surrey Football Club, also known as the Pegasus
Football Club “is an inclusive leader in [their]
community promoting [the] lifelong passion for the
beautiful game of soccer.” (Surrey FC, 2021). This is
the soccer club which I played with as an adolescent
and my parents were both volunteer coaches. Since
the club relies on members and “invests in leisure
and recreation” outdoors, they are in the non-
profit/volunteer sector, “the sector in which the
greatest of leisure and recreation organizations
exists” (Lunn, 2021, p.10) as soccer is commonly
played by individuals starting at a young age. In
relation to SPSC 2210, there is a combined
connection of recreation and coaching as the sport is
composed of a sport that requires coaches to
educate and work with the children, and is a small
club in the community that allows for children to
play for their human development results.

17. Non-profit/Volunteer Sector:
White Rock Titans Football Club
The White Rock South Surrey Minor Football Club is
home of the Titans whose motto is “One Team, One
Goal, One Family, NO REGRETS” (Titans, 2021). This club
prioritizes a safe and encouraging environment for all
their participants. Most of the coaches are all alumni
players and those that love the sport of football. I have
grown up with many friends that have been a part of
this club and continue to drop by practices on their days
off from their jobs. Due to the fact that the club cannot
run without all their volunteers, there are in the non-
profit/volunteer sector. The club brings together “ the
public and voluntary sectors to form collaborative
relationships” (Lunn, 2021, p.10) where athletes
experience football from the field rather than the
sidelines. In relation to SPSC 2210, there is a connection
to coaching as more experienced coaches work towards
completing their National Coaching Certification
Program (NCCP) as well as many of the participants play
in the club to develop and maintain their physical
fitness.

18. Non-profit/Volunteer Sector:
SportAbility
SportAbility is a registered charity that aims to provide physical
activities for those with disabilities, thus making it a part of the
non-profit/volunteer sector. They offer “programs in four sports
including Sledge Hockey, Boccia, Power Soccer, and CP/Para
Soccer at both recreational and competitive levels”
(SportAbility, 2021). Their office address is in Vancouver,
however the facility which they use for their programs is in
Cloverdale, Surrey. They are investing “in the future” (Lunn,
2021, p.4) of those with disabilities and focus on not ignoring
their physical “health and well-being” (Lunn, 2021, p. 10). In
relation to SPSC 2210, there is a combined connection of both
recreation and coaching. There is a recreation network as a
result of using city recreation centres for activities for
individuals with disabilities to engage and participate in during
their free time. The coaching connection is made from the
volunteers that devote their work and time to assist and mentor
individuals that are in need of self-betterment and motivation in
physical activity. This charity creates a sense of security and
belonging to individuals that may unfortunately not always be
accepted in other areas of their community.
