Last night was the final in-person class for a number of 4th year students. Many joined me (Tricia) for the usual end of term walk around Lafarge Lake after our final evening class, the presentation of outstanding service-learning projects!. These two pictures show the same cohort after the end of their first semester class in Dec 2022 (snow) to now, Dec 2025, end of 4th year classes before they head out on Internship in January. What a rewarding journey it has been for them, they are ready to WOW the Therapeutic Recreation world.

Thanks Daniel and Krysten!

4th year students using our classroom leisure stations on their break. Meaningful leisure moments, whether for 5 mins or 60 mins, are beneficial to reduce feelings of stress and improve learning (and so much more!).

Hello somewhat recent graduates - if you have a moment to complete the linked survey for a current student group it would be much appreciated:

"My group and I are currently completing a research project for our Research in TR course at Douglas College. As part of this assignment, we are connecting with recent TR graduates to learn more about your experiences transitioning into practice after completing the program. We would be grateful if you could take a little bit of time to complete a short online survey, it should take no more than 10-15 minutes. Your insight would be incredibly valuable and will help us better understand the strengths and gaps experienced by recent graduates. If you could complete the survey by early next week that would be amazing! Thank you very much for considering this request. Your support means a lot to us."
