Recreation And Citizenship: A Review Of Research Trends,Gaps, And Future Directions

In 2002, the Foundation commissioned the Canadian Institute of Child Health (CICH) to produce a discussion paper highlighting research on youth, recreation and citizenship. The paper looks at participation in recreational activities in terms of the collective, rather than individual benefits. It reports on the current state of knowledge in the area, as well as summarizes expert recommendations about specific research needed to move the policy agenda, including current gaps or new directions that the research is taking.
