Abstract
The results of an empirical study conducted in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario examining the leisure needs of the unemployed and how those needs changed from pre- to post-unemployment conditions are the focus of this paper. Ways in which the community leisure service delivery system cam respond to change, and identification of barriers denying need fulfillment and prohibiting access to the unemployed will be examined. The paper outlines some of the implications of unemployment for the community leisure services delivery system and suggests areas of activity for practitioners and academics as society experiences the rapidly changing patterns of work and leisure.
