About Jumpstart
This program helps financially disadvantaged kids get involved in organized sport and recreation by covering registration costs.
The goal of this program is to help those children that would not be able to participate in a physical activity without the assistance of the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program.

Funding is available for most Canada Games Centre registered programs. View the latest Program Guide.
What do the funds cover?
There are four funding allocation sessions: Fall (Sept-Dec), Winter (Dec-April) Spring (May-June), and Summer (July-Aug).
A completed application form is required for each child per session; children may apply for successive sessions.
