Sport and recreation play important roles in the early stages of a child\u2019s life. They teach teamwork, build confidence and promote healthy lifestyles that last well into adulthood. Unfortunately, financial barriers to sport can force some Albertan children to watch from the sidelines.<\/p>\n
Alberta\u2019s government remains committed to supporting Albertans facing higher costs of living. The province is breaking down the financial barriers that prevent kids from engaging in sport and recreation programs and getting them back in the game. If passed, Budget 2025 would provide $8 million to the Every Kid Can Play program.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m proud Alberta\u2019s government is supporting families with affordable access to sport and recreation through the Every Kid Can Play program. Sport is for everyone, which is why we\u2019re breaking down financial barriers to ensure no child is forced to watch from the sidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n
