What is June Is Recreation Month?
 Since 2005, June has been proclaimed as Recreation and Parks Month. June Is Recreation Month is a growing national campaign that provides a great opportunity to draw attention to the important benefits and values of recreation to individuals, families, neighborhoods, and communities. "Just For The Fun Of It!" is Newfoundland and Labradors new theme, which was created to express the need to embrace and participate in recreation and parks, and programs just for the fun of it. This campaign will create a greater awareness about the importance of recreation in communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, both rural and urban centers. With the help of the newly developed toolkit, we hope that individuals in various communities will take the time to embrace this campaign and reinforce how fun recreation really is!
What is Recreation?
 Recreation is an activity that individuals participate in during their free time for fun or pleasure, which contributes to an overall satisfying and increased quality of life. While these activities may mean different things to different people, it is an activity specific to their needs and wants. What is recreation to one person may be work to another, depending on their preferences. By engaging in a stimulating or amusing activity, it helps you refresh your body and mind.
