Before recreation was a recognized career path, there were people who believed it should be.

Through advocacy from ARPA and others in the field, the University of Alberta launched one of Canada’s first undergraduate programs dedicated to recreation in 1962.

What started as a small program has evolved over decades, balancing hands-on experience with a deeper understanding of leisure, community, and wellbeing.

Today, its graduates continue to shape recreation and parks across Alberta and beyond.

Help us honour our past, while investing in the future. Donate to our 75 for 75 Fundraising Campaign.
