Strong communities include strong kids. We believe all kids should have the chance to run, skate, play, and grow. Canadian Tire Jumpstart® is a community-based charitable program that helps kids aged 4-18 participate in organized sports and recreation such as hockey, dance, soccer and swimming, so they can develop important life skills, self esteem and confidence.
Let Kids Play
Let Kids Play Foundation is a charity with the objective of increasing the health, enhancing the education and developing the skills of low-income and underprivileged youth by providing funds to enable them to participate in organized sporting activities.
Studies have shown that participation in sport results in clear benefits to youth, including the development of skills such as leadership, perseverance and teamwork. A recent Sport Canada survey of Canadian youth aged 12 to 21 found that their involvement in sports improved their health, helped them make friends, improved their feelings about themselves, helped them succeed at school, and helped them become more active with their family.
