Financial Assistance Programs Assistance Programs Grade 5/10 Program Council has approved the continuation of the Grade 5/10 Get Active Program. This program provides a free membership to the Meadow Park Sports Centre for all Whistler Grade 5 and 10 students from October 1, 2019 until September 30, 2020. Research shows that by allowing youth to make their own social recreational choices they form healthy lifestyle habits that last into adulthood. By offering free admission to Meadow Park Sports Centre more young people are able to participate in recreational activities which will support the trend towards active living while addressing the issue of affordability.
