The program is designed to get children active. Any sport or recreation activity should include physical activity.
-
Funding up to $300 per child.

Funding goes to support the individual child whether or not they belong to a sport team.
-
Funding priority is for a sustained program that lasts a season.
-
Funding is available for members of the same family for the same season.
