Fee Assistance
Fee Assistance is a program of financial support for residents with low income living in our community that helps individuals participate in recreational and affiliated minor sport and arts programs. How the assistance is given, qualifications and the amount of subsidy varies between programs.
Peel Region Football will not consider requests for discounts or fee reduction unless the applicant has submitted applications and can provide proof of the submission for each of organization listed below.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart
Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities gives kids, between the ages of 4 and 18, a sporting chance.
Money raised within each community stays within the community and goes directly to help kids participate in sport, dance or other organized physical activities. Jumpstart funding helps families that need a financial hand with program registration costs.
Applications for Jumpstart need to be done before the fees are due, as the money goes directly to the sports association. Funding is up to $300 per activity. Applicants can also apply for equipment assistance up to $150 to help purchase goods such as cleats, girdles, etc.
Applications for Winter open January 16th, we recommend that families apply early.
Their Opportunity
Their Opportunity is a national children’s charity that delivers and subsidizes local sport. Their programs and service help to eliminate barriers of access and promote a lifestyle of giving back, empowering youth to reach their full potential.
Applications are ongoing and the charity endeavours to get back to you within two business days, but the disbursement of funds can take up to four weeks. Applications for programs taking place Spring/Summer opens March1st. To apply click here.
Growing Up Through Sports (GUTS)
Ontario Growing Up Through Sports (GUTS) was founded in 2011 by Brian Broley. The ability of playing organized sports at a young age shouldn’t be dependant on the financial situation at home, it is not in the control of the child and shouldn’t prevent them the ability to play with others their age and enjoy all the benefits playing sports has to offer.
Applications are ongoing and the charity offers funding of $200 per activity to an annual maximum of $600. The program is new to Peel and we are unsure of turnaround time. The fund also offers Equipment Assistance for eligible families.
