Critères d’admissibilité
KidSport™ considers the social and economic barriers facing the athlete’s family when determining eligibility for funding.
*Statistics Canada's Low-Income Guidelines (LICO) are used as a guideline to determine financial eligibility. If your income is higher, or if your income has changed since your last NOA, extenuating circumstances can be taken into account, please provide details with your application.
If you are unsure of your eligibility to receive a grant or if your financial circumstances have changed since your previous years assessments, please reach out to kidsporttricities@sportbc.com
