RENÉ-LEVESQUE EST OFFICIAL PROGRAM Page 3 Message from the Premier and the Minister of Education, Leisure and Sport The 2008 World Leisure Congress in Québec will be a major highlight in a year already rich in so many celebrations commemorating the 400th anniversary of the City of Québec. As the month of October begins, more than 2,500 people from over 40 countries have assembled here to share their expertise and experience in contributing to the well-being of their home communities. Whether for social interaction or personal development and fulfilment, for relaxation or simply for fun, leisure has always occupied a special place in our free time, our lives and our society. It brings out our talents, our aspirations and our passions, inspiring us to create, to achieve and to surpass ourselves. There is no limit to leisure activities and their benefits. They truly provide us all with a window on the diversity of the world. The Québec government has enthusiastically agreed to support the Conseil québécois du loisir in organizing this 10th Congress. We hope that this event will create a forum for fruitful and stimulating discus- sion, and that it will be a source of inspiration for everyone involved. We extend a warm welcome to all participants, and wish them a pleasant stay in Québec. Jean Charest Premier Michelle Courchesne Minister of Education, Leisure and Sport Page 4 OFFICIAL PROGRAM Dear Delegates: On behalf of the World Leisure Board of Directors, we are pleased to welcome you to the 10th World Leisure Congress celebrating Quebec City, Canada’s 400th anniversary celebration. This interna- tional meeting provides a remarkable opportunity for professionals and academics to join in a global exchange of ideas, concepts and experiences in the area of leisure. The theme of the 2008 World Leisure Congress is focused on the important topic of “Leisure and Community Development”. We are confident that many new perspectives, insights and global under- standings will emerge as a result of the presentations, conversations and other meaningful opportunities for interaction and dialogue. The 10th World Leisure Congress is unique in its program of partnership with various provincial, national and international organizations. The formulation of partnerships between various professional societies and associations as well as other governmental organizations will provide substantial opportunities for the formulation of new ideas and concepts based on the blending of professional knowledge from various viewpoints and cultural perspectives. We believe that the 10th World Leisure Congress will be an outstanding event. We look forward to celebrating the 400th anniversary of Quebec City – a magnificent community awaiting your discovery. The Quebec City Convention Centre is located in the heart of Old Quebec and will provide opportunities for exploration and for your enjoyment. We encourage you to explore this historically and culturally signifi- cant setting. We would like to express our sincere appreciation and thanks to our hosts and to the local, provincial, national and international bodies for providing their support to this unique event. We look forward to meeting with each and every one of you here in Quebec City, Canada and to a dynamic, exciting and productive exchange of ideas aimed at advancing leisure concepts, policies and professional practices. Sincerely, Derek G. Casey Chair, Board of Directors Christopher R. Edginton, Ph. D. Secretary General OFFICIAL PROGRAM Page 5 Message from the President and the Honour President It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to this 10th edition of the World Leisure Congress under the theme “Leisure and Community Development”. The host of the event, the Conseil québécois du loisir, and its partners are proud to welcome you to Québec City to share the most up-to-date knowledge and experiences from the fascinating field of development and solidarity that is leisure. This event is the conclusion of an exceptional concerted effort by international, Canadian and Québec organizations, with the support of the Quebec government, during which we hope to achieve the greatest congress ever held in this field. Over 2,500 stakeholders and more than 40 countries will reunite with unprecedented Francophone participation. The content is as rich as it is varied with over 400 papers, some 200 workshops, exceptional speakers and panellists and a first state of leisure in the world. By also offering a wide range of high quality social activities to liven up your free time, this will definitely be a unique event! During the five days of this international encounter, we will address successively ties between leisure, plurality, identity and solidarity; leisure in its public and private dimensions as well as the aspects of prevention, health and quality of life. At the dawn of this new century, as we begin to seriously question our consumption patterns, through globalization and the reinforcement of communities as well as the search for sustainable development solutions in social, economic and environmental matters, leisure can indeed change the world! We will hence be called upon to reaffirm our confidence in this belief for communities throughout the world with the Québec Declaration. For each of you, speakers, panellists, attendants and guests, on behalf of those who have dedicated their time and their passion in preparing the World Leisure Congress Québec 2008, we are confident that your stay here in the cradle of French civilization in North America, which is celebrating its 400th anniversary, will be most fulfilling and memorable. We hope you enjoy your stay in Québec City. May you have the opportunity to develop networks and make friends around leisure, a powerful agent of change and team work.
