KidSport Policy
KidSport is a local program that supports children who need financial assistance with sport registration fees and equipment costs. Skate Martensville is fortunate the sport of skating meets KidSport’s eligibility requirements. As such, members of Skate Martensville who face financial barriers are entitled to apply for a KidSport grant.
KidSport applications are typically due around the same time the Skate Martensville’s season begins. If the application is approved, it can take several weeks for Skate Martensville to receive the funding therefore, a $100 deposit will be required in lieu of the full registration fee and must be paid before a skater is allowed on the ice. Once the KidSport funding arrives, the grant amount will be applied to the skater’s registration fees. If there are any outstanding fees not covered by KidSport, the skater will be notified with an invoice and payment will be due immediately. If KidSport covers all or part of the $100 deposit, the skater will receive a refund for that amount.
*Skate Martensville’s fundraising deposit requirement is not eligible to be covered by KidSport grants as per KidSport’s policies.
