KidSport expanding reach into entire Peace Country

KidSport is set to serve a lot more than just the Grande Prairie area, as KidSport Peace Country is officially up and running.

Officials with the non-profit say the name change reflects the organization’s expanded service area across Northwestern Alberta, while maintaining its core mission to remove financial barriers to sport so that all kids can participate.

Regional Manager for KidSport Alberta Karna Germsheid says families across the entire Peace Country, expanding north to the NWT Border, east to Valleyview, south to Grovedale, and west to the border with British Columbia can now apply for KidSport funding.

“This is an exciting step for KidSport. “Expanding our boundaries means we can help even more kids across Peace Country access the benefits of sport — building confidence, friendships, and healthy habits for life,” Germsheid adds.

You can learn information and find links to funding requests on the new KidSport Peace Country website.
