Research shows that participation in sport and recreation increases a child’s chance of success in life.

Some of the criterion to apply for the Jumpstart program includes: • Eligible children are between the ages of 4 and 18 years.

• Eligible children participating in sport and recreation in West Kelowna and Peachland.

• Funding goes to individuals, not to teams.

• Up to $600 per child can be allocated per year.

• Funding should be for a sustained program that lasts a season therefore a one-week camp would not qualify.

• Funding can be provided to the same child for successive seasons, although the goal is that Jump Start continues to fund new children.

• Funding preference is to pay for registration fees with consideration to fund equipment or transportation costs on a case by case basis.

The West Kelowna chapter is made up of organizations that provide sport and recreation opportunities for children in our community including: West Kelowna Recreation and Culture, BGC Okanagan, Westbank First Nations, Kids Sport and the West Kelowna Canadian Tire store.

• Applications are not retroactive and must be submitted before the start of the season.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart has helped give more than 159,573 kids in financial need, the chance to play. Funding is based on the individual child’s financial need. The goal is to help those children who would not have been able to participate in a physical activity without the assistance of the Jumpstart program.

West Kelowna KidSport Chapter

For further details contact the City of West Kelowna Recreation and Culture Department at 778-797-8800, online at www.westkelownacity.ca/everyoneplays or contact Peachland Recreation 250-767-2547.

So ALL Kids Can Play!

KidSport™ is a community based sport-funding program that provides grants for children ages 18 and under. There are over 30 community chapters in BC and over 175 chapters across Canada. KidSport™ works to eliminate the financial barriers to sport participation, so all kids can play. In March 2011 the West Kelowna KidSport™ Chapter began awarding groups to help children and youth participate in sport programs.

For more information see the West Kelowna Recreation and Culture website at www.westkelownacity.ca/everyoneplays or call the City of West Kelowna at 778-797-8800.

PacificSport Okanagan Regional Sport Centre-Okanagan Society is a regional sport centre that educates, inspires and engages communities in the sport pathway, from the playground to the podium. The not-for-profit Society, based in Kelowna, encompasses a geographical area that extends from Enderby to Osoyoos. The Okanagan Regional Sport Centre provides dedicated support to more than 100 registered athletes and coaches, in addition to hosting community sport programs and events for children to adults.

Through partnerships with recreation departments, school districts, health authorities and local sport organizations, PacificSport Okanagan delivers programming for the Canadian Sport for Life movement, improving the quality of sport and physical activity in Canada.

PacificSport Okanagan benefits from funding and in-kind support by investments from the Province of BC, viaSport and the cities of Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon and is a member of the viaSport Regional Alliance-a network of five PacificSport centres and six regional multi-sport leaders across the province. PacificSport Okanagan works with its partners to provide sport development opportunities and programs for the local sport community.

Spring Events Make Ethical Decisions The NCCP Make Ethical Decisions module is a cornerstone of the NCCP and leaves coaches with no doubt as to what to do in challenging situations. The module equips coaches to handle challenging ethical situations with confidence and surety. It helps coaches identify the legal, ethical, and moral implications of difficult situations that present themselves in team and individual sports. After completing the NCCP Make Ethical Decisions module, you will be able to: • analyze a challenging situation to determine its moral, legal, or ethical implications; and • apply the NCCP Ethical Decision-Making Model to properly respond to situations in a way that is consistent with the NCCP Code of Ethics.
