NB KidSport Fund
KidSport is a national not-for-profit organization that provides financial assistance for registration fees and equipment to kids aged 18 and under. Through a confidential application process we provide grants so they can play a season of sport. Nationally, KidSport is comprised of a network of 11 provincial / territorial KidSport chapters and 178 community KidSport chapters. Since its creation in 1993, over 450,000 kids across the country have been given the chance to play sport through KidSport grants and sport introduction programming.

PRO Kids Saint John
P.R.O. Kids is a non-profit program operating out of the Leisure Services Department of the City of Saint John that matches children and teens up to (and including) the age of 18 with organized, registered recreation activities. P.R.O. Kids receives support from organizations, businesses and service providers who donate spaces in their programs, provide financial or “in kind” assistance, and/or donate supplies, equipment and transportation to and from activities and programs. Children and youth from Saint John have had the opportunity to apply to this program since 2002 and the program expanded in 2005 so that families in Quispamsis, Rothesay and Grand Bay-Westfield could also apply for funding through the program.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Program
The Canadian Tire Jump Start Program is focused on helping young people to increase their physical activity levels. The Towns of Quispamsis and Rothesay are pleased to be a member of the Greater Saint John Canadian Tire Jump Start Chapter and twice a year (May and September) will be allocating funds to assist children in need to register for sport or recreation programs.
The Towns of Quispamsis and Rothesay need your help in assisting young people in our community who wish to participate in sport and recreational activities but who do not have the means to do so. Te process is easy and will be done in the strictest of confidence. The referring school, community group, parent, etc should contact the person listed below. The Towns representatives will then submit the information to the local Chapter at their semi-annual meetings. The way we see it, the answer to "Can I play?" should always be "Yes."
