Province provides $8-million to Every Kid Can Play program
Understanding the important role that sport plays in the lives of children and young people, Alberta’s government has provided $8-million to Every Kid Can Play program. Joseph Schow, Minister of Tourism and Sports, says these funds support community and non-profit organizations, and low-income families to ensure all children have the opportunity to play. Schow also says these funds will help more than 8,500 kids across the province. He says programs that have received support from Every Kid Can Play include Swim Alberta, which supports the I Can Swim Program and the Cousins Skateboard Community Association.
