Description:
Public and Civil Leisure in Quebec
Dynamic, Democratic, Passion-driven and Fragile
André Thibault
Collection
Temps libre et culture
Between the world of commercialized leisure and the world of home cocooning lies a middle groundin Québec replete with public and community organizations that work together by the thousands to offer recreational and leisure opportunities to Quebecers and growth opportunities to communities. At some point everybody takes part in a festival, enrolls their children in team sports, visits a park,uses a bicycle path, volunteers for an amateur theater troupe, organizes a soccer tournament, expresses a need for recreation, or claims the right to leisure.
Through more than 50 case studies that provide a compelling portrait of leisure in Québec, this work illustrates that public and civic leisure model that Quebecers use in their recreational pursuits. It presents the model’s mission, its values, certain principles, the resources used, the main challenges ahead, and the ways of meeting and working together that enable the model to thrive and develop.
Bulletin vol. 6 no. 3 of the Observatoire québécois du loisir
Lesson of the World Leisure Congress: the perception of leisure remains Folk
By André Thibault, directeur if the Observatoire québécois du loisir and Director of the Program of the World Leisure Congress
Allowed the opportunity to occupy the public as to the media than from the population, media interposed. The examination questions and comments of journalists and media leaders revealed that the perception of leisure remains, after all, fairly standard and that the scope of the discourse of experts and professionals has not reached the population.
This finding us and can not be ignored. With its mandate to inform decision makers in entertainment, the Observatoire, in this bulletin, report the major issues and outline the responses heard during the Congress.
