Students in the Recreation Therapy program complete 430 hours of unpaid placement in a community setting.
The placement sites are hand picked by Lambton College staff to ensure the best possible sites for students. Our Recreation Therapy coordinator works with more than 50 placement partners across the province to provide our students with difference experiences,
the ability to work in their home communities and travel.
Students entering this program must meet specific field requirements by a specified deadline to be eligible for placement with our community partners.
