Baker Tilly firms across Alberta are joining forces to make a difference in the lives of local children with an amazing $20,000 sponsorship of KidSport Alberta! They share our vision of an Alberta in which ALL kids have the chance to play, and are helping to break down barriers for families facing financial difficulties.

This sponsorship will directly help over 50 kids in Calgary, Edmonton, Rocky Mountain House, Banff, and Canmore get into organized sports, allowing them to develop essential skills like teamwork, leadership, and resilience.

“At Baker Tilly, we believe in investing in the future—whether that’s in business, our people, or our communities. Sport plays a vital role in building confidence, leadership, and teamwork skills, all of which are essential for success in life and in business. We’re proud to support KidSport Alberta and help ensure that every child has the opportunity to play,” said Kelly Fowler, Partner at Baker Tilly in Edmonton.

Sport and business have a lot in common. By investing in youth, we invest in the future leaders of businesses and communities.

“KidSport envisions an Alberta in which ALL kids have a chance to play, regardless of their financial situation,” says Kelly Oehlerking, Executive Director at KidSport Alberta. “We could not strive to achieve this goal without the support of our partners, and we are thrilled to welcome Baker Tilly to our team! Baker Tilly understands the value of sport participation for kids, and they are committed to making a difference in the communities where they live, work and play. We are so grateful that Baker Tilly shares our vision, and have joined us to help make it So ALL Kids Can Play!”

Throughout the year, Baker Tilly teams will be actively involved in our KidSport events, volunteering their time and resources to support local initiatives. Baker Tilly’s commitment to Alberta goes beyond business—it’s about empowering people, fostering growth, and building stronger communities where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. We are thrilled to have them as a KidSport partner!
