Ontario Grade 12 PLF4M Recreation and Healthy Active Living Leadership (Grade 12, University/College Preparation)
Chapters: 3
1. A. Leadership
A1 Leadership Styles · A2 Leadership Skills · A3 Group Dynamics and Teamwork
- Leadership and Management: Leading People, Teams and Change – Management gets work done through planning, organising, staffing, directing and controlling. Leadership inspires people to work towards a shared goal. Leaders choose a style that fits the people and the task, build qualities like communication and integrity, guide teams through their stages, plan projects with schedules, delegate well, and help people accept change.
- Physical Fitness – Physical fitness is the body's ability to do daily work, play and sport with energy to spare. It has five health-related components (heart-lung endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition) and six skill-related ones (speed, agility, power, balance, coordination, reaction time). We improve it with a planned programme using FITT (frequency, intensity, time, type) and training principles like overload, progression, specificity, rest and reversibility.
2. B. Facilitation of Recreation and Leisure
B1 Promotion of Lifelong Participation · B2 Event Planning and Coordination · B3 Safety and Injury Prevention
- Recreation and Healthy Active Living Leadership – Leisure is free time we choose how to use; recreation is what we do in it for enjoyment. Active recreation involves movement, and healthy leisure is any free-time choice that helps body, mind or relationships. Staying active for life brings growing benefits. People keep going when motivators outweigh barriers, so leaders promote activity in sensitive, inclusive ways and act as mentors who help others grow.

- Health and Safety: Hazards, Risks and Controls – A hazard is anything that can cause harm. Risk is how likely the harm is and how bad it would be: risk = likelihood × severity. A risk assessment finds hazards, decides who could be harmed, rates the risk, adds controls and is reviewed. Use the hierarchy of control: eliminate, substitute, engineering controls, admin (rules, training, signs), then PPE last. Safety signs use colour and shape. Workshops, art rooms and workplaces need guards, ventilation, labelled materials, clear exits and first aid. Laws in most countries make employers and workers share the duty to stay safe.
3. C. Mentoring Development
