CANADIAN TIRE JUMPSTART CHARITIES/OEUVRE BON DEPART DE CANADIAN TIRE

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities removes financial barriers that prevent low-income children and youth from participating in sports and recreation. The organization provides grants to families and community programs across Canada, enabling kids to access equipment, fees, and registrations for activities ranging from hockey and soccer to swimming and dance. Operating from Toronto, Jumpstart works with local schools, community centres, and non-profit organizations to identify children who would otherwise sit on the sidelines due to poverty. By connecting young people with sports and recreation, the charity helps build confidence, physical health, and social connections. Since its founding, Jumpstart has distributed millions in grants to support hundreds of thousands of children in communities throughout the GTA and beyond, recognizing that every child deserves the chance to play, learn, and belong.
