ABOUT

KidSport Ontario

Together with our network of 18 local chapters, KidSport Ontario provides grants to help cover the costs of enrolment so that all kids aged 18 and under in Ontario can play a season of sport.

 

To apply for a KidSport Ontario grant or learn more about the program details, start by finding your closest chapter. If your community doesn’t yet have a local chapter, your grant will come through the Provincial Fund.
