Bringing Passion to life. “Creating Leaders and Individuals with a passion”
Brenda Andress, Passion Productions (Newmarket, Canada)

Over a century ago, Benjamin Disraeli wrote that “people achieve greatness when they act from their hearts and their passion.” In the past 25 years, as a leader who has worked in a number of diverse roles with the recreation field, one of the most important qualities I cultivate and develop is how to lead with my heart. This alone equates with higher team performance, achieving personal and community dreams. Join me, as we wonder about how we can lead with more passion? What stops us from accessing our full creativity and flow as a leader? How can we open up others to expand their passion potential? In this playful and workshop we will explore our own passion potential that exists within us as leaders in the recreation business and by the end of this session you will leave with a few more tools and activities that can be utilized to ignite others in your work environment, recreation programs, and communities to live their passion.

Building Capacity, Broadening Awareness and Engaging Tomorrow’s Leaders Through Extension Activity
Nicole Vaugeois, Tracy Simpson & LA Shibish, Vancouver
Island University (Nanaimo, Canada)

As the population of Canada and many other countries continues to urbanize at an alarming rate, there is an emerging need to bring young leaders into contact with the complexities of rural life. This presentation will describe an innovative initiative taking place in British Columbia to engage University and College students in extension work with rural communities. Undertaken as part of the Tourism Research Innovation Project (TRIP) which is a multi partner initiative to mobilize knowledge and resources in tourism to rural areas of BC, the annual extension tour brings students into contact with the complexity of leisure provision in rural areas. Students develop an awareness of the realities of rural living while engaging in dialogue with community leaders, operators and residents. The experience provides “deep learning” while building relationships with stakeholders that are later followed up on by the project coordinator for TRIP. The project has been taking place since 2005 covering a different portion of BC each year with students from five different educational institutions. In 2008, eight students from Vancouver Island University, University of Northern BC, College of the Rockies and Thompson Rivers University travelled throughout rural and aboriginal communities in coastal BC to learn about sustainable development and aboriginal tourism. Two undergraduate students who participated in this extension tour will present the model and the impact of the experience on learners. Their observations will be supplemented with video footage of the journey and testimonials from participants. Those involved in providing education experiences or those interested in developing capacity or rural development will find the presentation valuable.
