CENTRE OF LEISURE STUDIES/
THE RECREATION RESOURCE CENTRE OF NOVA SCOTIA
For nearly a quarter century, the Centre of Leisure Studies/Recreation Resource Centre of Nova Scotia served as the hub for information dissemination and related services for the recreation field, not only serving the needs of Nova Scotians but other parts of the country as well. The existence of the Centre on the Acadia campus helped to elevate the reputation of university, with regards to recreation and leisure studies, throughout North America. From the perspective of the profession within the province, the Centre not only housed one of the largest specialized resource collections anywhere, it meant that recreation service providers had ready access to some of the best professional development opportunities in the country, and well as to a myriad of research services not available in any other province.
