Balancing academic and athletic time management
Participation in a varsity athletic program requires a great amount of time and effort to meet the demands of practices, meetings, training, film sessions and games, thus adding extra stressors to first-year students trying to integrate into university life in general. These time commitments may reduce a student athlete’s academic engagement and, therefore, negatively affect one’s academic success. The purpose of this study is to identify the cha…
Le loisir à Québec et l'État-providence
L'évolution des interventions de la Ville de Québec dans le domaine du loisir offre un terrain fertile à l'examen des relations entre le palier municipal et les paliers supérieurs de gouvernement. Cette évolution est marquée par celle de l'État-providence. Chaque période est caractérisée par une logique particulière, des types d'actions gouvernementales correspondantes et un degré différent d'autonomie locale. Pendant la période d'émergence de l'…
One Community or Two Solitudes
Ed Jackson invites us to consider extent to which [leisure] research-and researchers-[in Canada and the U.S.A.] can be considered as a single, integrated community, or, alternatively, existing side-by-side but in intellectual isolation from each other. For Canadians this is but another instance of a recurrent theme-to what extent does American hegemony influence, or dominate, Canada? Although some Americans may find the question to be little more…
Purposive Leisure
Current social psychological definitions of leisure may not adequately capture or describe family leisure. This study used discourse analysis to explore the meanings of family leisure as revealed by parents of preteen children (aged 10-12 years). The data came from a study of 31 families (23 two-parent families and 8 one-parent families) living in Ontario, Canada. Thirty mothers and 23 fathers were interviewed about their family leisure activitie…
For the most part, it's not fun and games.” Homelessness and Recreation
Homelessness is a persistent problem even in wealthy nations. Shelters for the homeless and aligned service agencies attempt to go beyond simply providing temporary housing and try to help their clients secure some measure of stability in their lives and to ultimately enable them to escape homelessness. Increasingly, recreation is seen as a means of assisting the homeless to cope with their condition, to improve the quality of their lives, to mai…

Who Has It Best? Women's Labor Force Participation, Perceptions of Leisure and Constraints to Enjoyment of Leisure
Data from a mailed questionnaire completed by 1,549 adult females in Ontario, Canada were used to examine women's leisure meaning systems, their experience of leisure and constraints to their enjoyment of leisure. The labor force participation of the subjects was classified into three categories: employed full time, part time workers, and homemakers not employed outside the home. The findings show that women do not, regardless of labor force part…

Leisure, the Local State and the Welfare State
Until recently much of the study of local public leisure services in the U.S.A., Canada and the U.K. has not dealt systematically with the role played by the local state within the welfare state. The role of the local state with respect to leisure is, of course, pivotal in that it is at that level that the bulk of public leisure services are delivered. Moreover, given that state intervention in leisure is an increasingly accepted aspect of the we…
The Rational Subordination of Women's Leisure Under Patriarchal Capitalism
This paper advances the particular interpretation that the rationalization of both work and social life under industrialization throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century has had profound consequences for the leisure or women. Just as women have traditionally played a secondary role in the work force, it was “rational” that their leisure should also be secondary to men's leisure. In industrial capitalism women have less leisure spac…
Leisure and the definition of poverty
How a society defines and subsequently measures poverty has a considerable impact on the way in which the poor are viewed by people in general and how the problem of poverty is approached by the state. This paper examines the conceptual role played by leisure in the definition of poverty in modern society. Earlier attempts to define and measure poverty did not consider leisure at all. Later inquiries tended to conceive of poverty as a relative ph…
Social class in leisure
This paper examines some of the recent literature dealing with the role of leisure in capitalist society. Two related theoretical themes are discussed: the role of leisure in the reproduction of class inequalities and leisure as a site of resistance against capitalist cultural forms. Some authors argue that the processes of working class leisure can be seen to contribute to their own subordination as well as the reproduction of capitalist class r…
Unemployment, Leisure and Liberal-Democratic Ideology
It would seem that due to technological innovation and Canada's position in the world economy, high rates of unemployment will continue to be problematic. This «structural» and «demand deficiency» unemployment is having and will have considerable impact upon the liberal-democratic ideology of «full employment». It appears that as the goal of full employment is increasingly less feasible, there is an ideological shift towards the acceptance of hig…
Leisure and social class
Although a few social historians have recently dealt with several aspects of leisure and social class, the topic remains largely neglected in the field of leisure studies. This paper critically evaluates the dominant school of thought in leisure studies with regard to its treatment of the work/leisure relationship. Subsequently, several neo‐Marxist and neo‐Weberian approaches that place class, culture, and leisure in important analytical roles ar…
On the Analysis of Class and Leisure
It has become almost common wisdom that one's leisure activities are relatively unrelated to one's occupational experiences. A resultant trend in leisure theory and research is to avoid classifying persons according to occupational groups or economic class. Moreover, the notion of the modern “mass” or classless (atomistic) society has lead to thinking of leisure in individualistic rather than collective terms. II is also true that many overly det…
The Structural Realities of Canadian Multiculturalism
Lance Roberts and Rodney Clifton (1981) in their article 'Exploring the Ideology of Canadian Multiculturalism' correctly point out that Howard Brotz's (1980) juxtaposition of 'culture' and 'civilization,' while novel, misses the important distinction between 'culture' and 'social structure'. However, Roberts and Clifton themselves do not adequately portray the structural realities of Canadian multiculturalism which they hold to be so crucial. Cri…
