Introduction It is an accepted fact that children and youth who are involved in organized activities are happier and healthier. The Kids Recreation Fund was established in April of 1999 as a way of helping kids whose families were experiencing financial hardship,in order that they may actively participate in organized sport, art, cultural, social and recreational programs. This program helps parents with the cost of registration fees, special clothing, supplies and equipment. In its nine years of existence, the Kids Recreation Fund has sponsored approximately 3500 children at a cost of more than $750,000 in a wide variety of activities throughout the Territory. The Yukon Government’s Health and Social Services sponsors a large portion of the program but local businesses, community clubs, groups, and individuals associations also play an inportant role in supporting this initiative. The committee is asking for your much-needed support in the investment of our youth, so they may achieve mental, physical, social, and personal development through participation in active living. If you would like to contribute to the Kids Recreation Fund please contact Megan Freese at Sport Yukon at (867) 393-8334 or any of the following committee members:
