Spring KidSport intake deadline

Spring is just around the corner, and with that comes registration for spring and summer sports. Every year, countless children wish to participate in organized sport, but are unable to do so because of financial barriers. The KidSportTM Fund can assist these children by providing them with financial assistance. KidSportTM, a national children’s charity administered in Manitoba by Sport Manitoba, is now accepting applications.

Applications for the 2008 spring and summer sports seasons will be accepted until April 30, 2008, with funds being allocated shortly afterward. Late applications will not be accepted.

Every child, up to the age of 18, is eligible to receive up to $300 per year from the KidSportTM Fund. Allocated funds can only be used for registration costs connected to participating in organized sport for the season.

Applications are available at the Sport Manitoba – Westman Region office located in Room 146 at 340 – 9th Street, or visit our website, www.sportmanitoba.ca. Please ensure all applications are submitted by April 30, 2008, with all necessary documents attached.
