We’re pleased to announce that the ADCKC is one of many sport and recreation organizations across Canada to receive funding from the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program. Jumpstart is a Canadian charity that “helps kids overcome financial accessibility barriers to sport and recreation, in an effort to provide inclusive pay for kids of all abilities”. Since 2005 Jumpstart has disbursed more than $225 million to help over 3 million kids and counting. We are grateful for this news and know the positive impact it will have on our sport and the athletes who paddle in Atlantic Canada.

With the help from the Jumpstart fund, we will be able to continue to provide our athletes exciting projects, enhanced support, and enjoyable environments for all canoe/kayak participants.
