HEARTLAND DRAGONS HOCKEY ASSOCIATION RECEIVES JUMPSTART SPORT RELIEF FUND GRANT
Great News Dragon Family!
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. The Heartland Dragons Hockey Association 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.
Along with Jumpstart, we understand the role sport plays in the health and well-being of our kids and their families and are doing everything possible to help community sports continue in Mississauga.
Stay tuned to find out how Jumpstart made a difference in our community!
