Recreation Studies at Langara College, Vancouver, BC Videos

GAME TIME!🥁 The department of Recreation Studies at Langara College, Sneweyet Lelem, welcomes Lamarr Oksasikewiyin (@lamarr1969). Originally from Sweetgrass First Nation in Saskatchewan, Lamarr is a leader, educator and presenter of Traditional Games all over Canada and throughout the world. He currently teaches land-based learning at Kakisiwew School on Ochapowace First Nation. Students in RECR 1162 got to learn about indigenous systems of knowledge and how these systems use the concept of play and recreation to teach participants skills that are essential in First Nation societies, including hunting, hand-eye coordination, math, mental sharpness, core strength, aerobic endurance, community-building, interpersonal connection and spiritual growth. We are extremely grateful to Lamarr for presenting and sharing his unique knowledge and experiences with our Rec Studies students! #decolonization #indigenouscanada #recreationstudies - #sneweyetlelem #langara #langaracollege #recreation #recstudies #indigenization #firstnations #traditionalgames #play #playtolearn #survivalskills #community #communitybuilding #connection #indigenouspeople #indigenousspirituality #spirit #twospirit #equity #diversity #inclusion #love #huntinggames #vancouver #postsecondary #college #wearelangara

Our Rec Leadership 2nd Years are half way through their internship experience! A requirement for internship is to complete an overnight facilities maintenance shift to gain an appreciation and understanding for all that's required to maintain a Recreation facility. Samson Lee recently completed his shift, and here's what he had to say about his experience: I completed my maintenance shift at the Minoru Center of Action Living. I am working with an Auto-Scrubber machine. The main event is scrubbing the Pool Change Rooms and Shower. I have the utmost respect for all the overnight and daytime building service workers (BSW). They work at odd and unconventional hours to keep the facility clean and Covid-Safe for all staff and patrons to recreate. The maintenance shifts definitely provide a grounded experience to the internship. Thank you to the City of Richmond BSW team. #Recstudiesintern #recreationinternship #langaraintern #langarainternship #handsonlearning #langaraalumni #recstudiesalumni #langarian #recalumni #langara #langaracollege #langarastudents #langararecstudies #recstudies #recreationstudies #recreation #parksandrec #communityengagement #communitycentres #studentlife #aquatics #Bcswim #swimming #Bcaquatics #aquaticcenter
