Bayview Receives Jumpstart Sport Relief Fund Grant
Hello Bayview Families,
In February, Canadian Tire Corporation announced an additional $12 million commitment to Jumpstart’s Sport Relief Fund to help sport and recreation organizations build back sport and play in Canada. Jumpstart conducted a State of Sport study via Ipsos which revealed the pandemic has not only impacted current access to sport and play but has real long-term effects as well. Bayview School and the communities it serves have experienced the impact of the pandemic first-hand.
We recently received confirmation that we will be provided with grant support through the last round of Jumpstart’s Sport Relief Fund. In 2021, Jumpstart has now disbursed funding to more than 1,200 organizations across Canada through Jumpstart’s Sport Relief Fund. We are beyond grateful to receive this news and know the positive impact it will have on sport and recreation organizations, and ultimately, on kids across the country.
With Jumpstart’s support, we’ll be able to replace equipment that has been damaged due to the extra measures we have taken to sanitize equipment in between each physical education class. We are also in the process of being able to provide safe access to the playground and field for those who have mobility concerns while also purchasing a new interactive piece of equipment that would be accessible for all students.
We are so excited about this opportunity and send all our thanks to JumpStart! We are very grateful for their assistance.
In appreciation,
Bayview Staff
