Affording Gymnastics

Gymnastics can be a hard sport to afford so QCGC has put together a few different financial aid options that might help families out.

We post our sessions well in advance in order to choose a class and find out class information/costs.  If you are planning on going through either of the following options, we recommend you apply as early as possible to ensure a smooth registration process before the classes start.

The KidSport Program
KidSport provides grants to children and youth (5  to 18 years of age) facing financial obstacles so that they can participate in registered sport programs led by qualified instructors. KidSport supports social and economic barriers facing the child’s family when determining eligibility, such as families that are on low income, unemployed, or currently receiving income support through the provincial government.  KidSport meets the 20th of each month to review applications and approve them.  Once they approve you, they will notify you via email. For more information, please visit: www.kidsportcanada.ca

Canadian Tire JumpStart
JumpStart is a registered charity that delivers support to children and youth, from financially disadvantaged families, in order to allow them to participate in organized sport and physical activity. JumpStart understands the important life benefits that participation in such activities can have on the life of a child, and offers funds through a Canada-wide network of Chapters and Community Partners.
