So ALL Kids Can P la KidSport™ is a community based sport-funding program that provides grants for children ages 6-18 years. There are over 30 community chapters in BC and over 175 chapters across Canada. KidSport™ works to eliminate the financial barriers to sport participation, so all kids can play. In March 2011 the West Kelowna KidSport™ Chapter began awarding groups to help children and youth participate in sport programs. For more information see the West Kelowna Recreation and Culture website at www.westkelownacity.ca or call the City of West Kelowna at 778-797-8800. 52 Spring 2016 | West Kelowna Recreation Guide | Think Active Be Active Research shows that participation in sport and recreation increases a child’s chance of success in life. TR E TOWN CEN Since its launch in February 2005, Canadian Tire Jumpstart® has helped give more than 159,573 kids in financial need, the chance to play. The West Kelowna chapter is made up of organizations that provide sport and recreation opportunities for children in our community including: West Kelowna Recreation and Culture, Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, Westbank First Nations, Kids Sport and the West Kelowna Canadian Tire store. Funding is based on the individual child’s financial need. The goal is to help those children who would not have been able to participate in a physical activity without the assistance of the JumpStart program. Some of the criterion to apply for the Jumpstart program includes: • Eligible children are between the ages of 5 and 18 years. • Eligible children participating in sport and recreation in West Kelowna and Peachland. • Funding goes to individuals, not to teams. • Up to $300 per child can be allocated per season. • Funding should be for a sustained program that lasts a season therefore a one-week camp would not qualify. • Funding can be provided to the same child for successive seasons, although the goal is that Jump Start continues to fund new children. • Funding preference is to pay for registration fees with consideration to fund equipment or transportation costs on a case by case basis. • Applications are not retroactive and must be submitted before the start of the season.
