of the centre they offer classes for babies to adults,
with toys and flotation devices provided to all

all genders and adequate space for those with a
disability that requires a wheelchair, as well ramps

11. Rocky Point Kayak
SPSC 2210 Connection: This is a
business to promote physical activity
for those who can afford (Lunn, 2021).
Their attraction is the ability to navigate
and see the Burrard inlet from the
water and get close to the marine life
such as the seals that sun bathe on the
logs. In the summer they provide
employment opportunities to the
younger demographic, being private
they are able pay their employees a

and 10 pin bowling to costumers for a fee

SPSC 2210 Connection: Zone bowling brings
in customers of all ages and genders for a
fun and social event. They are not monitored
or have subsidized costs from the
government (Lunn, 2021). They are profiting
from the public, however that also means the
public expects higher quality then what they
would receive from a public sector. Bowling is
a recreational activity in this setting, as there
are no coaches.
Fun fact: Special Olympics BC offers one of
their 10pin bowling programs here (found no
info if there is a discounted fee).
