public's recreation requirements are directly handled through the provision of recreation services
(Lunn, 2021). The municipal recreation department and the city of Maple Ridge collaborate to
directly serve the needs of Maple Ridge residents.. “Recreation services should be commensurate
with individual and collective interests and serve the need of the total community” (Lunn, 2021, p.
5). The Maple Ridge Leisure Centre accomplishes this by providing a wide range of programs to

COMMERCIAL SECTOR
ORGANIZATION / STORE / CLUB NAME: Snap Fitness (I work here!)
COMPLETE ADDRESS: 2-23315 Dewdney Trunk Rd, Maple Ridge, BC, V2X 3L6
INDICATE SERVICE SECTOR: Commercial Service Sector: Snap Fitness is a
commercial service sector because it is “recreation for which the consumer pays
and for which the supplier expects to make a profit” (MacLean, Peterson, & Martin,
1985, p. 220, as cited in Karlis, 2011, p. 79, as cited by, Lunn, 2021).
SPSC 2210 CONNECTION: Recreation & Physical Education: Snap Fitness is
associated with recreation since it is carried out by people who do it for fun. Also's
on the commercial recreation side, which is more profit-driven (gym members pay,
and the owner earns a profit), but it provides more jobs for Maple Ridge locals,
additional recreational activities for people, and an attraction draw outside of the
capital (other Snap Fitness facilities or other gym’s) (Lunn, 2021). Because it is a
gym, it is directly related to physical education, and the major individual purpose
of going to the gym is to be active through physical education and live a healthy
lifestyle.

under the commercial recreation sector as it falls under one of the five commercial
recreation categories which is entertainment services (Lunn, 2021).

Odeon is linked to recreation. Since it is a commercial recreation service it has
“recognized the need for innovative leisure and recreation goods, supplies, and
services” (Lunn, 2021, p. 6) and through recognizing this, high quality, consumer based
service is provided. This service is provided for a cost and profit/revenue is gained
through the fees. Movies are provided at the cinema for a cost and the

provided for a cost and profit oriented (Lunn, 2021). Fans can go watch the Giants at the Langley

SPSC 2210 CONNECTION: All: The Vancouver Giants fall under the entertainment service
sector of commercial recreation. They serve as a recreation service as they serve as a public good
(Lunn, 2021). The Giants are a popular junior hockey team, and many people, including myself,
enjoy watching them play. This team continues to provide high-quality services, remain
competitive and affordable, stay on top of social trends, and offer new goods (Lunn, 2021), and as
a result, they are one of the most popular recreation services in the Lower Mainland (for those
who like hockey). The Vancouver Giants offer youth camps, with the primary purpose of promoting
happy and healthy lifestyles via hockey, thus linking it to physical education. The youth will be
coached by the team through various drills, which will relate it to coaching.

“primarily operated by volunteers” (Lunn, 2021, p. 8). All of the coaches are
volunteers and the organization relies on the efforts of the coaches for

SPSC 2210 CONNECTION: All: The Ridge Meadows Football Club is linked
to recreation since people who participate do so for the enjoyment of it, as
do those who coach or manage it. This club is linked to physical education
because its main purpose is to teach kids empathy, kindness, safety, and
compassion while they gain fundamental/basic abilities and advanced skills
through soccer. This club connects to coaching as they rely on the efforts of
their volunteers (their coaches) for survival (Lunn, 2021).

volunteers and the organization relies on the efforts of the coaches for sustained
survival (Lunn, 2021).
SPSC 2210 CONNECTION: All: The RMMHA, like the RMFC, is linked to recreation
because it is something that people do for fun. It is directly linked to voluntary
recreation because it relies on its members to continue, focuses on fundraising,
targets specific age groups, and invests in the future (Lunn, 2021). The RMMHA ties
into physical education by teaching respect, desire, and pride through hockey, as well
as assisting athletes in developing confidence and competence. The RMMHA has a
direct connection to coaching thanks to the coaches that offer their time to keep the
organisation going.

members of Maple Ridge, it is based around user fees and fundraising and once
again, its teachers are all volunteers (Lunn, 2021).
SPSC 2210 CONNECTION: Recreation & Physical Education: Fabulous Feet
School of Dance connects to recreation because “recreation is a fundamental
human need for persons of all ages and is essential to a person’s physical and
social well-being and to overall quality of life” (Lunn, 2021, p. 5). "Recreation is a
fundamental human need for persons of all ages and is essential to a person's
physical and social well-being and overall quality of life," according to Fabulous
Feet School of Dance (Lunn, 2021, p. 5) Dance is used to improve people's physical
and social well-being. It is linked to physical education since dancing aids in the
development of an individual's four c's.
