Feedback needed from Parents/Guardians of para athletes
In 2017 Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities launched the Play Finds a Way movement, announcing a $50 million commitment over five years to remove both physical and financial barriers to give kids of all abilities greater access to sport and play.
As part of this movement, Jumpstart is interested in learning more about the program interests and equipment needs of children and youth in Canada’s Parasport community, in the hopes of better serving this community.
Jumpstart recognizes that there is a significant gap in available and affordable Parasport equipment, and we want to address that gap in collaboration with our largest benefactor, Canadian Tire Corporation.
We are looking for feedback from parents like you, to help guide Jumpstart on this journey to understand the current interests, needs and barriers existing in the accessible Parasport community. Whether your children are already taking part in Parasport programming, or are interested in Parasport but are hindered by the current costs associated, we want to hear from you.
Please find the link to our short survey here.
In order to ensure your voice is heard, we’d ask that you please complete the survey by August 31, 2018.
With thanks for your support and participation,
Jonathan Wood
Chair & Chief Engagement Officer
