By participating in Leisure and Culture activities, whether arts, culture, or recreation, we contribute to our wellbeing as individuals, to our communities, and society as a whole.
Dr. Karen Gallant on Leisure and Culture:
The myriad of activities and opportunities we pursue and enjoy benefit our overall life satisfaction and quality of life.
As forms of human expression, leisure and cultural activities help to more fully define our lives, the meaning we derive from them, and ultimately, our wellbeing. This remains true throughout our lives. The impact of participation in leisure and cultural activities is even more significant for people in marginalized groups, such as those living with disabilities, living in poverty, or as members of a minority population.
