Saskatoon KidSport provides financial assistance for youth from low-income families to help them to participate in organized sport.  Children between the ages of 5-18, WHO ARE LACKING THE MONEY TO PARTICIPATE IN SPORT, are eligible for assistance.

 

GUIDELINES FOR ASSISTANCE
Complete the application form entirely. Funding will only be provided for one sport per child for each application deadline.  Applications MUST be received before March 30th to be considered for this funding period.  Since requests always exceed the funds available, KidSport cannot guarantee assistance.

 

An adult sponsor who knows the child/family and can confirm their financial need must sign the application.  The sponsor MUST be one of the following: child's school teacher/principal, professional in social work or family/health services, police officer, or member of the clergy.

  • Youth between the ages of 5-18, as of the application deadline, WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF SASKATOON, are eligible for financial support.
  • Please ensure that your child is registered in the program to receive financial assistance.
  • Preference is given to participants who are being introduced into organized sport. Preference will be given to registration fee and then to equipment costs.
  •  No assistance is available for travel, sport camps, elite training, or to organizations that are from the for-profit sector.  Please ensure to check with the organization prior to sending your application form.
  • Support is limited to a maximum of $750 per participant for community sport programs per calendar year (January - December).
  • Please allow three weeks for processing after allocation deadline. All applicants will receive a letter via mail in regards to successful or unsuccessful applications.

 

Saskatoon KidSport sends the money directly to a club, league, or association on behalf of the participant.

1 Week Left to Recycle Your Christmas Tree
Posted on Jan 23, 2012 in News

Every year the City establishes a number of Christmas tree drop-off locations, open from December 26 until the end of January. Trees dropped off at these locations are chipped and turned into compost or used as mulch.

Please remove all ornaments and plastic bags.  Watch for the signs at each site indicating the drop-off areas.  The City will not be picking up Christmas trees from back lanes or street fronts.
