In Ontario, the population wÎll move from a sports ago to a cultural ago. And baby boomers will be driving recreational activities over the next 25 years. These 'are the findings of the Ontario Leisure Activity Participation Studios conducted by the Ontario Research Council on Leisure for the Ministry of Tourism and 1ýecreation. In ail, 2,024 pereona aged 15 and over were contacted during a two-wave telephone survey that took place in FebruarylMarch 1989 and July 1989. "TII. samiple was closly aligned with the. provincial population by ago and. gendor,"- said Terry Smnith, chairman, recreation division, resea rch departmient. When asked what they did in thefr leisure time,' 90 per cent replied they read for pleasure, socializing .- visiting with friends or dining out - was next, fiblowed by listening to radio, recorded material and watching television. Moreover, three-quarters of Ontanians spend thefr Urne outdoors either walking or bicycling while two- thirds engage in hobbies or home improvements, 48 per cent hunt, campý or alh 45 par cent attend popui.ar entertainment,- 39 par cent partaicipaté in church or, spiritual, acitivities, 34 par centý are engaged in voluniteer work, 33 par * cent participate in, adut education or continued education and 33 per cent attend sports events. David. Foot., a demographer, took the resuits of the survey and plugged them into the population projection for Ontario, matching the current level to the Pr *jected level of participation te the year 2011. Among t he assumptions ho used were that every year the population aged by one yoar and that the mîjority of our activities are influence& by baby boomers, who make up -34 per cent of the current population. This showed volunteer work as the nuinber on. growing leisure activity, with an expected 49 -par cent increase.
