There are many organizations that support soccer in our community. Here are a few we are aware of:
KidSport is a national not-for-profit organization that provides financial assistance for registration fees and equipment to kids aged 18 and under.

In 2005, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities was launched to address an issue of national concern; the inactivity of kids. National in scope, but local in its focus, Jumpstart helps kids in financial need participate in organized sports and physical activities by assisting with the costs associated with registration, equipment and/or transportation.
