Make REAL Change in Your Community!

The REAL Program is currently recruiting members for our Steering Committee, subcommittees and fundraising projects. We are seeking committed, enthusiastic volunteers who want to invest in our community.

We are looking for residents who are interested in supporting REAL’s goals and objectives to create opportunities for all children and youth to experience the benefits of participation and belonging in our community.

Members of the steering committee are actively involved in providing support, guidance and oversight of the REAL program operations. There are many benefits of getting involved:

• support families facing financial barriers to be able to participate in registered activities

• break down barriers to recreation

• give back to the community and local businesses

• be recognized as a community leader

• contribute your unique knowledge and skills

• meet and work with great folks and have fun

“The REAL Program has helped dreams come true for many children since they started in 2002. By providing recreation and leisure activities to children who do not have the financial means, they are building their confidence and self-esteem.”

Jill Dreaddy Danceco

“The REAL Program has been a huge contributor to our minor hockey program, offering youth in financial need the ability to participate in our hockey program, which benefits them physically, emotionally, boosts self-esteem, builds positive friendships and develops their skills.”
