Framework and Quebec Recreation Policy

In 2015, A Framework for Recreation in Canada 2015: Pathways to Wellbeing (The Framework) was released, designed to “guide and stimulate coordinated policies and practices in recreation and related jurisdictions in Canada that aim to improve the wellbeing of individuals, communities, and the built and natural environments” (p. 6). Except for Quebec, all provinces and territories endorsed the document. In 2017, Quebec published the Policy on Physical Activity, Sport, and Recreation: Quebecers on the Move!, a policy that promotes physically active lifestyles for all Quebecers. The following analysis compares similarities and differences between the two documents.
