College Diploma - Recreation and Leisure Services (1202)

The College Diploma - Recreation and Leisure Services at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Toronto is a two-year college diploma that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.

You will learn to plan and lead recreation and leisure programming — program design, leadership, community development, inclusive recreation and event delivery — with placements in real community settings. Graduates work as recreation and leisure programmers, community recreation workers and activity coordinators with municipalities, community centres and camps.

Delivered at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Scarborough, Toronto. Note that this field is not among the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so the program may not support a Post-Graduation Work Permit — if working in Canada after graduation matters to you, confirm the current position on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list and with IRCC before applying.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Recreation Coordinator, Leisure Services Programmer and Community Recreation Worker, gaining hands-on skills and real Canadian experience in Toronto's large job market.

Beyond technical learning, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

Studying at Ontario's first public college — one of Canada's most multicultural campuses, with automatic entrance scholarships of up to $5,000 for eligible new international students — you get supportive services and a welcoming community.
