The Sport and Recreation management major is of value and importance to Alberta’s economic and social future. Graduates will be trained and educated to address the challenges associated with increased levels of sedentary behavior currently being experienced and the increase in health issues connected to this behavior. Producing leaders that will take active roles in sport and recreation in the Province, including recreation centres, community programming, sport and athletic facilities, and other grassroots partners, would, therefore, enable Alberta to tackle these issues providing lasting legacies locally, and providing leadership nationally.
