The Town of Hay River has been selected by Canadian TireSA国际影视传媒檚 Jumpstart program to receive a grant from its Sport Relief Fund.

The fund helps community sport organizations continue to provide access to sport and play for young people.

The grant to Hay River will help with this summerSA国际影视传媒檚 sports camps, a new addition to the long-running Summer Heat program.

SA国际影视传媒淭his is a new fund they came out with to help support getting communities and kids active as we start to emerge out of Covid,SA国际影视传媒 said Nicole Mitchell, the townSA国际影视传媒檚 recreation programming supervisor.

Mitchell declined to say how much money the town would be getting for the Summer Heat Sports Camps.

SA国际影视传媒淲e did get a significant portion that will go a long way to supporting the program,SA国际影视传媒 she said.

The funding will help train staff, provide T-shirts for participants, and provide appropriate footwear for youth in need.

The Summer Heat Sports Camps are not totally dependent on the Canadian Tire funding.

SA国际影视传媒淲e would have been having it with or without,SA国际影视传媒 said Mitchell. SA国际影视传媒淲e have a few funding sources that go towards programming, and because we were able to receive this grant from this program that means other funding can be used towards other programming.SA国际影视传媒

However, the purchase of footwear is happening because of the Canadian Tire support.

SA国际影视传媒淭he shoes for sure we would not have been able to purchase,SA国际影视传媒 said Mitchell.

This is not the first time that the Town of Hay River has received support from the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program.

SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檝e gotten funding from Canadian Tire before for our kick-boxing and boxing program for youth,SA国际影视传媒 said Mitchell, although she noted this is the first support from the Sport Relief Fund.

The sports camps, like the regular Summer Heat, are expected to run for seven weeks from July 12 to Aug. 27.

Each week of the sports camps will focus on a particular sport, including basketball, volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, traditional games, ball hockey, flag football and more.

Registration opened on June 1.

Across Canada, the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Sport Relief Fund will be distributing $12 million.

Mitchell explained that the Town of Hay River qualified for some of the funding as a not-for-profit organization.

SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e not in it to make money,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e in it to provide affordable and accessible recreational programming, and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 in line with Canadian TireSA国际影视传媒檚 Jumpstart goals, as well to be able to make active programming as accessible to youth as possible.SA国际影视传媒
