In September, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities announced an $8 million sport relief fund to help sport
and recreation organizations continue to deliver programming in 2020 and
beyond.
As you may be aware, many community organizations have shut their doors due to the financial burden created by COVID-19, including lost revenue and increased program costs. Caledonia Minor Hockey has experienced the impact of the pandemic first-hand. We recently received confirmation that we are amongst 668 sport and recreation organizations nationally to be provided with grant support through Jumpstart’s Sport Relief Fund. We are beyond grateful to receive this news and know how positive an impact it will have on sport and recreation organizations, and ultimately, on kids across the country. With Jumpstart’s support, we’ll be able to continue to operate our hockey programming enabling kids to play hockey and continue to learn respect and love for the game. We would like to thank and acknowledge Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities for their continued support of Minor Hockey.
