Activity Assistant

The part-time Activity Assistant Program is offered as a complement to the Health Care Assistant Diploma allowing graduates to expand their skills and knowledge to support seniors in recreation and leisure activities. Activity/Recreation Assistants plan and implement individual and group activities under the supervision of individuals such as Activity Coordinators and Recreational Therapists. Their primary goal is to enhance the clients’ quality of life through a focus on meaningful activity and recreation such as crafts, games, exercise, and other social and cognitive activities.
