It includes activities like sport, aquatics, personal development programs, rehabilitation programs, and government initiatives.<\/p>\n Recreation and health educators support people of all abilities, ages, socio\u2010economic backgrounds, and ethnicities. They foster change through collaborative programs and policies.<\/p>\n The Recreation and Health Education program can also lead to careers in leadership and administration, or further study in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, coaching, or teaching.<\/p>\n The Recreation and Health Education program shares a common first year with the Physical and Health Education program. The Physical and Health Education program<\/strong> is for people who want to become a secondary school physical education teacher.
