Help paying for youth sport

Cost shouldn't stop a kid from playing. These are the programs families in Prince Edward Island can apply to: Canada-wide and province-wide programs, plus the city subsidies we have found. Amounts and rules are as published and can change each year.

Most programs take applications straight from parents; some need the club or school to fill in part of the form, or must be approved before you register. Ask early.

Province-wide and Metro Vancouver

    Canadian Tire Jumpstart Individual Child Grants

    Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities

    What it covers
    Eligible sport or physical-activity registration and equipment costs, up to $300 per child per year.

Payment goes to the registered organization, not the family, about 6-8 weeks after approval.
    Who qualifies
    Children aged 4-18 in families that meet Statistics Canada low-income cut-offs (LICO, before-tax). Some local Chapters may no longer offer the grant; check your Chapter in your Jumpstart account.
    How to apply
    Create a Jumpstart account, confirm your local Chapter is accepting applications, and apply online before the program starts with a current Canada Child Benefit statement and proof of programming (payee organization, program, dates, cost). Applications after a program ends are not reviewed.
