More than 1/3 of Canadian children can’t participate in sports or recreational activities due to financial barriers. If you believe in the power of sports to help build the self-esteem and social skills of a child, get involved with us!

Athletics For Kids Financial Assistance Society (A4K) provides families in need with financial assistance to pay for registration fees for their children’s sports.
