KidSport grants cannot be applied to programs that have already ended.

What if the child lives outside of the area we cover? If your family lives outside of the area we cover, you can apply to the KidSport Provincial Fund. The provincial fund works like a big chapter, and covers all communities that do not already have a KidSport chapter.
