  IN RECENT YEARS, recreation scholars and professionals began calling for a return to municipal recreation's historical roots as a "public good." Blaming neoliberal ideology for the current pay per-use model, these calls for a more inclusive recreation system have suggested the sector's "business-like" practices should be of concern because they are in direct opposition to the field's historic mandate of "equal opportunity." A central assumption underlying these calls for the recreation profession to return to its "historical roots" is that municipal recreation services, until the late 1980s and early 1990s, were available to all members of society. This narrative is, however, a romanticized account of recreation's history. Through a historical re-reading of 'public' recreation, this workshop challenges the often-repeated narrative of a more inclusive era in recreation's past. Tracing some of the conditions that have given rise to our current recreation systems, Dr. Tink will demonstrate how recreation has, by design, served the interests of white, heterosexual, able-bodied middle-to-upper class individuals. Afterwards, she will guide participants through a critical dialogue intended to explore what is inherently problematic, difficult and dangerous in the discourses, practices, and policies that guide their day-to-day work as recreation programmers and policy-makers.

  
  

  LISA TINK is a researcher and consultant living in Edmonton (Amiskwacîwâskahikan) on Treaty 6 territory, the territory of the Papaschase, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. Currently working at the University of Alberta, Lisa’s research exposes what is inherently problematic, difficult, and dangerous in the inclusion discourses, practices, and policies used to govern Canada’s recreation and sport systems. Her recent book is titled Fit to be Canadian? The Recreation Industrial Complex in Canada. Prior to returning to academics, Lisa worked as a director in the Government of Alberta’s Recreation and Physical Activity Division and a manager at the Alberta Recreation and Parks Association. Lisa is also the co-director of In Situ Change Strategies – a participatory consulting firm that provides strategic learning, research, and evaluation services to inform meaningful action.
