3. PUBLIC SECTOR

4. Timms
Community
Centre
Address: 20399 Douglas Crescent, Langley, BC
Service Sector: Public
SPSC 2210 Connection: This recreation facility falls under the
public sector as it provides many individuals of the Langley
community a place to participate in many different recreational
activities. This community center provided by Langley City gives
every individual an opportunity to enhance their quality of life
(Lunn, 2021). The Timms Community Centre also provides financial
assistance for those that need it. This allows for every individual to
participate in their recreational programs. Therefore, Timms
Community Centre falls under the public sector and recreation as it
provides opportunities for disadvantaged people (Lunn, 2021) of the
Langley community to still participant in recreational activities.

5. Campbell Valley
Regional Park
Address: 20285 8 Ave, Langley Twp, BC
Service Sector: Public
SPSC 2210 Connection: Campbell Valley Reginal Park located in
Langley provides the community with leisure and recreation
services. This is an example of recreation as it’s maintained by the
government and provides an opportunity to enhance the overall well-
being (Lunn, 2021) of those that participate in the activities. This
Park provides many recreational and leisure activities from
horseback riding, cycling, biking, hiking and many more services
providing everyone from able-bodied and non-able-bodied an
opportunity to experience nature. Providing a large variety of
services encourages everyone in the community to maintain a
healthy lifestyle (Lunn, 2021).

6. Brookswood Park
Address: 4078 200 St, Langley, BC
Service Sector: Public
SPSC 2210 Connection: Maintained by the Township of Langley,
Brookswood Park is an example of a recreation service. With
access to a playground and many other recreational activities, it
serves a collective interest to all members of the community (Lunn,
2021). This environment allows children to play, dogs to be safely
walked on a leash, while also providing many park benches for
those who wish to sit and enjoy nature. A wide range of recreational
activities promotes and encourages a better quality of life in the
community (Lunn, 2021).

7. COMMERCIAL SECTOR

8. Langley
Events
Centre
Address: 7888 200 St, Langley, BC.
Service Sector: Commercial
SPSC 2210 Connection: According to Lunn (2021), a commercial sector
provides opportunities for leisure and recreation from a business point of
view. Similarly, the Langley Events Centre is an example of a business that
falls into the commercial sector. The Langley Events Centre provides
numerous recreational activities individuals of Langley can participant in.
This large facility provides many recreational and leisure opportunities for
everyone in the community. Although to participate in many of these
activities a small fee is required. Attending Hockey games, fitness cards,
and food all require payment to be able to participate. In this case, the
Langley Events Centre is an example of commercial recreation as it is a part
of the leisure industry and provides the Langley Community resources
(Lunn, 2021).

9. Langley Cineplex
Address: 20090 91a Ave, Langley Twp, BC.
Service Sector: Commercial
SPSC 2210 Connection: Another example of a commercial
recreational facility is the Langley Cineplex as it provides
opportunities for leisure and recreation from a business standpoint
(Lunn, 2021). The cineplex provides the Langley community with
the opportunity to watch movies, enjoy food, and participate in a
variety of arcade games. Upon entry, individuals pay for the
recreation service that they would like to participate in, which then
can contribute back to the wealth of the Langley society (Lunn,
2021). A positive to this commercial recreation facility is that it
provides job opportunities for those that live within the community
(Lunn, 2021) and allows many other individuals an option when
choosing a recreational and leisure activity.

10. Anytime Fitness
Address: 20631 Fraser Hwy, Langley, BC.
Service Sector: Commercial
SPSC 2210 Connection: A popular commercial recreational
facility located in Langley is Anytime Fitness. This recreation
facility encourages individuals to lead a healthy active lifestyle.
There are many gyms that community members can choose
from. Therefore, for Anytime fitness to remain successful they
must provide a business that maintains quality services and have
competitive affordable prices (Lunn, 2021). Doing this will
encourage more people to use their services instead of others.
Individuals that pay to use Anytime fitness recreational services
are providing the company profit (Lunn, 2021) which is why
they are in the commercial sector.

11. VOLUNTEER SECTOR

12. Valley Therapeutic
Equestrian
Association
Address: Metro Vancouver Regional District, 3330 256 St,
Langley, BC.
Service Sector: Volunteer
SPSC 2210 Connection: Supported and ran through
fundraisers, donations and volunteers Valley Therapeutic
Equestrian Association provides opportunities for recreation
through horseback riding to both children and adults. This
organization is a volunteer recreational facility because it is
operated by volunteers (Lunn, 2021). The volunteers come to
help the coach with the child or adult assisting on both sides of
the horse creating a safe space for them to participate in
horseback activities. This organization helps the population of
those with disabilities, encouraging them to still participate in
their recreational services.

13. Langley Senior
Resources
Society
Address: 20605 - 51B Avenue, Langley, BC
Service Sector: Volunteer
SPSC 2210 Connection: This is an example of a volunteer
recreational society because they are an organized, voluntary, non-
profit society (Lunn 2021). Langley Senior Resources Society
provides recreational activities for those that are over the age of 50.
Another example for why they fall under the volunteer category is
due to the society being maintained by community memberships,
public sector assistance and volunteers to help with recreational
activities (Lunn, 2021). Providing many recreational activities for
those over 50 helps maintain an active healthy lifestyle reducing
risks of future health problems and provides many mental benefits as
well.

14. South Langley
Basketball
Address: 20902 37a Ave, Langley, BC
Service Sector: Volunteer
SPSC 2210 Connection: This non-profit basketball team provides opportunities for kids and
teens to participate on a team and learn the fundamentals of basketball. Relying on team
members is a reason why the South Langley Basketball society is a volunteer recreational
society. By allowing kids to participate in camps and travel on a team they are investing in
the future of their basketball ball team, as kids will learn, grow and continue to play the
sport. This investment will have an impact on the Langley society's future (Lunn 2021)
which is why they fall under the voluntary sector. Having a voluntary sports team in the
community promotes and encourages young kids to participate in leisure and recreational
activities that are important for society (Lunn, 2021).
