In February, Canadian Tire Corporation announced an additional $12 million commitment to Jumpstarts Sport Relief Fund to help sport and recreation organizations build back sport and play in Canada.

We’re pleased to announce that the ADCKC is one of 500 sport and recreation organizations across Canada to receive funding from the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program. Jumpstart has already dispersed over $9 million in funding to more than 800 organizations across Canada through the Jumpstart Relief Fund. 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.
