4. Newton Recreation Centre
13730 72 Ave, Surrey, BC V3W 2P4
 The Newton recreation center is a community center with many
different facilities such as a wave pool, a gym, a weight room, an
arena, and has multiple programs for all people willing to participate.
It is a good example for a public service sector because it solves the
primary concern of the communal good of society by “enhancing the
quality of life and well-being of citizens” through its services in
physical activity and leisure and recreation for people of all ages
(Lunn, 2022d, pg. 3). It is also a good example of recreation because
of how the NRC has programs for everyone that “play a significant
role in the creation of cohesive and quality communities” and how
they are “a fundamental human need for persons of all ages and is
essential to a person’s physical and social well-being and to overall
quality of life” (Lunn, 2022d, pg. 5). The NRC is also involved in all
three levels of government as it fulfills their mandates of promoting
health and well being through recreation and sport, and by acting as a
catalyst for rec development in the community (Lunn, 2022d)

5. Kennedy Trail Elementary School
8305 122a St, Surrey, BC V3W 9P8
 Kennedy Trail Elementary school is a part of the public service sector
because it is a public school open to all children and “provides
recreation that because of its nature, continually reinforces values and
ideals of establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to the user”
(Lunn, 2022d, pg 3). KT does this by helping to reinforce a healthy
lifestyle with healthy habits in the children that attend the school
through their years spent there. It is also a good example of education
because the teachers teach the students about physical education and
help develop their physical literacy which is important because
“Individuals who are physically literate are more likely to be active for
life” (Lunn, 2022c, pg 4). KT also has aspects of coaching involved such
as during the school’s sports teams where the teachers or other
parents are coaching the sports team. The coach has to understand
the level they are coaching and the Physical literacy involved within
that level and what stage of physical activity they have achieved.

6. Newton Athletic Park
7395 128 St, Surrey, BC V3W 2M7
 Newton athletic park is home to many sports and recreation users
encompassing many diverse people within the community to all gather
and perform their separate forms of physical health and sport. It is a good
example of a public service sector because of it being a public park open
to the general public, local rec and sports associations, and how its
involvement with the three levels of government such as the municipal
where they are encouraging the development of recreation and sports
programs, and the provincial where they are promoting the preservation
and protection of natural resources (Lunn, 2022c). NAP is also a good
example of recreation as it displays the benefits of rec such as
environmentally where “investing in the environment through park and
the provision of open space in residential areas, leads to an increase in
neighborhood property values through accessibility to environmentally
friendly green spaces and associated recreation opportunities” (Lunn,
2022a, pg 5). Also scocially and economically where the park helps
develop community cohesion and stronger families, along with acting as
a catalyst for tourism (Lunn, 2022d).

 NAP also demonstrates recreational benefits through cultural diversity which
promotes more ethnic harmony and further increases community understanding and
unity (Lunn, 2022a). (As demonstrated in the picture above). The NAP is also a good
example of coaching as many sports clubs and teams use its facilities and are
accompanied by a coach that has training and is certified in their respective sport, for
example a coach from Surrey Football Club which is home to NAP trains coaches in
respect in sport program and coaching courses so they can properly train and
develop athletes in multiple age ranges and skill levels.

9. Fit 4 Less
8066 120 St, Surrey, BC V3W 3N3
Recreation
 Fit4less is a private gym that allows its participants to come to work out with their
equipment and use their facilities at a membership cost. It is due to this cost that this is
considered a commercial service sector example because it “is a major contributor to the
creation of capital, resources, and wealth within our society”, and allows for an increase in
employment opportunities, an increase in recreation opportunities for residents, is an
attraction of outside capital, and provides affordable quality products and services (Lunn,
2022d, pg. 7). Furthermore, it is also considered a recreation example because it shows the
benefits of leisure and recreation such as personal, and political examples, these being it
promotes a supportive environment which reduces loneliness and anti-social/socially
awkward tendencies, and it provides services for the public good along with an
“endorsement of leisure and recreation as a basic right of all Canadians”(Lunn, 2022a).

10. Kwantlen Polytechnic University
12666 72 Ave, Surrey, BC V3W 2M8
 The Kwantlen Polytechnic University is a diverse place of learning
involving Physical education in a private service setting by
teaching its students the importance of health and wellness. It is a
good example of a private service sector because it offers unique
products and services, recognizes leisure and recreation trends
and fads, and is aware of social trends and demographics as a
whole (Lunn, 2022d). It also provides its students the ability to
partake in programs that further their physical health and
education understanding. KPU also has facilities and programs for
its students with the purpose of encouraging and supporting
students through the development of healthy habits along their
fitness journeys. KPU demonstrates this through the benefit of
recreation by integrating accessible services for people with
disability and disadvantaged individuals along with those that are
excluded which also impacts community involvement and is what
contributes to the foundation of community pride (Lunn, 2022a).

11. Ambition Sports Academy
13120 76 Ave, Surrey, BC V3W 2V6
Coaching, Recreation
 The Ambition Sports Academy is a profit organization that works toward
coaching athletes in their weight training facilities and an indoor golf
performance center. It is a good example of a private service sector
because it allows for an increase in employment opportunities for other
certified coaches, it increases the surrounding property values, and is
competitive and affordable compared to other similar facilities (Lunn,
2022d). The ASA also believes that culture is a big part of the community
and they are encouraging, positive, respectful, and motivating. This leads
to why they are a good example for recreation because of the personal
and social benefits of Rec such as how they promote cultural harmony,
how their positive and encouraging environment supports social bonds
and relationships to increase community unity, and their main service of
physical activity is one of the best methods of health insurance (Lunn,
2022a).

13. Surrey Minor Ball Hockey Association
7120 136B St, Surrey, BC V3W 5E6
Recreation, Coaching
 The surrey minor ball hockey league is open to Canadians that live in
the Surrey area and work with the west coast ball hockey association
to organize the sport and provide youth with the opportunity to
engage in a positive environment that encourages the development of
confidence, and life-long health. This follows the social and personal
benefits of recreation where it reduces alienation, loneliness, antisocial
behaviors, and creates an opportunity for positive lifestyle choices and
alternatives to self-destructive behavior by promoting self-esteem and
positive self-image (Lunn, 2022a). This is also an example of
volunteering and coaching because it allows people in the community
to volunteer with them and be a part of their coaching staff by
completing a Respect in Sport program that “educates coaches and
activity leaders to recognize, understand and respond to issues of
bullying, abuse, harassment, and discrimination” (SMBHA, 2022).

14. Kids Play Youth Foundation
10318 Whalley Blvd #1, Surrey, BC V3T 4H4
 The kidsPlay youth foundation is an NGO based around youth sports
and youth outreach, and have over 680 volunteers. Their main focus
is to organize youth sports and projects to keep them away from a
life of gangs and drugs (kidsPlay, 2022). This is a non-profit example
because it encompasses the 5 main features of the non-profit sector
being, organized, non-profit distributing, private, self-governing, and
volunteer-based (Lunn, 2022). It is also an example of education
because they have programs and events where they teach kids and
parents about Physical health and literacy and how it “gives
motivation for people to engage in physical activities and exercising”
(Lunn, 2022c, pg. 3). It also encompasses recreation because how
they allow all Canadians to go out and be active and play with one
another benefitting them socially by providing leadership
opportunities to build their community and providing opportunities
for community involvement and shared management. This is also
followed by an economic benefit because they also allow a possible
reduction in the cost of vandalism and criminal activity because the
youth are busy in these events and programs (Lunn, 2022a).

15. Surrey Football Club
7395 128 St, Surrey, BC V3W 4E4
 The Surrey FC is a local soccer club that is dedicated to making
community club soccer fun and easy through training camps and an
academy. It is an example of recreation because it plays a role in shaping
Canadian identity through the personal and social benefits of club soccer
such as promoting cultural and ethnic harmony through a diverse
population of club members in the local community along with children
and youth play which is very important to the human development
process and quality of life (Lunn, 2022a). The Surrey FC also includes the
opportunity for local volunteers to come help coach and train the
athletes and participants by giving the chance of taking coaching
courses, a dedicated coaching pathway, and a Respect in Sport program,
along with a criminal background check to help coach and influence the
player’s development. It also is non-profit, community-focused,
volunteer-driven organization that aligns with the 5 key features of an
NGO. Surrey FC also seeks public sector assistance through government
relief fund grants, which is also a key factor for volunteer (non-profit)
sector organizations (Lunn, 2022d).
