Physical Education and Recreation Instructors (PERI) was the predecessor of the well-known PSP
Personnel Support Programs (PSP) is a well known organization amongst members on Base Borden, but many are not familiar with its predecessor, Physical Education and Recreation Instructors (PERI). PERI was a branch responsible for prompting and providing physical fitness and recreation.
While the branch was officially established on 5 December, 1980, this trade has a long history. Prior to the establishment of PERI, there existed physical education programs and physical education instructors who taught them. There was a different type of physical recreation instructor for the Army, Navy and Air Force. With the establishment of PERI these physical education programs were combined and all instructors became part of the PERI trade.
