Publisher/Sponsor:
Canadian Council on Social Development / Conseil canadien de développement social (CCSD)
In December 2000, the Laidlaw Foundation commissioned the Canadian Council on Social Development (CCSD) and the Family Network of Canadian Policy Research Networks (CPRN) to complete two studies about "Learning Through Recreation" that, together, could be used to inform the Foundation’s future work in the area of youth recreation. CCSD produced a Data Analysis: Learning Through Recreation, while CPRN conducted a Literature Review on Learning through Recreation. This summary report combines the key findings of these two studies as they relate to four hypotheses about the public policy significance of youth recreation advanced by the Laidlaw Foundation. The data analysis and literature review are available as separate background documents that support and expand upon this summary report.
