CCLR 2026

VANCOUVER ISLAND UNIVERSITY

We will invite scholars to question how leisure and their scholarship address the complex issues of Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; but first we are asking you HOW you would like to share your research, ideas, and innovations.


Hosted by the World Leisure Centre of Excellence at Vancouver Island University, the 18th Canadian Congress of Leisure planning team invites proposals for innovative presentation styles/designs for CCLR 18 in Nanaimo, BC, Canada, from May 19-22, 2026.
