Mission
QAAP is committed to providing a forum, which will facilitate communication
and networking, as well as support the establishment of standards of
practice for individuals in the activity/recreation/leisure profession.
This in essence will promote the advancement of quality programming
for all the population we serve. QAAP will also strive to raise awareness
of the profession through promotion and advocacy of recreation and leisure
and its therapeutic benefits.
How is QAAP Funded?
QAAP is primarily funded through membership fees. These fees help cover
the operating costs of QAAP. Monies collected are used for the following;
post office box rental, government registration fees, newsletter production,
stationary supplies, etc. The treasurer is responsible for keeping
an up to date account of all receipts and expenditures, which is included
in the annual report.
In search of
guest speakers.
Do you know a guest speaker who would
be willing to share their expertise with our members at one of the QAAP-AQPL
general
meetings? Or are you yourself interested in presenting? We
are continually looking for individuals who would be willing to educate
our members on subjects related to the following:
• recreation ex. benefits, profession, etc.
• assessment, ex. forms, updates, relevance, etc.
• activity ideas, stimulation, techniques
• disability
• disease ex. Arthritis, ADHD, MS, AD, etc.
• disease prevention
• alternative therapies
• creative arts (i.e. music, dance, art therapy)
• adapted exercise, sport, equipment
• certification and standards of practice
• wellness
• community resources
• services for caregivers
• any other related subjects
Speakers will be contacted and booked by the President of QAAP-AQPL. Speaker
sessions are intended to maintain, upgrade, educate, and create awareness
among the members of our association. Speaker sessions will last
approximately 1 hour including a 15 minute question period. Ideally,
speakers will participate on a "volunteer" basis, however
they will be given the opportunity to promote themselves and their
work to our membership. Interested candidates should fill
out this form and submit their candidacy as
a QAAP-AQPL guest speaker! We
encourage you to share your resources and qualifications by enriching
the educational knowledge of all QAAP-AQPL members!
