i thrive on keeping busy, so in addition to working full time as a carpenter for over 45 years I also work Friday nights in the Maintenance Department here at the pool. My wife Catherine and I have been together for 48 years, which i feel is amazing. We our proud parents to three grown children and just recently, we have become grandparents! Can’t wait to bring the little one to the pool. staying healthy is important, so you can find me swimming at JBMac five days a week first thing in the morning. On weekends we enjoy the company of five dogs each with their own personality. i live by the philosophy “take life as it comes and just be happy as it keeps you young”.

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