Families with lower incomes can apply for assistance from Bruce County so their children have the chance to take part in activities and programming when fees are a barrier.
The Bruce County Child Activity Assistance Program (CAAP) offers up to $500 for each dependent child under the age of 18. The funding is available for families with a gross income of less than $49,466.
This opportunity can assist with the cost of activities like school trips, school nutrition programs, extra-curricular activities, Scouts or Embers, as well as arts and cultural programs.
“Bruce County is committed to helping children and families enhance their level of participation and quality of life in our communities,” said Director of Human Services Tina Metcalfe. “The Child Activity Assistance Program helps ensure children have access to, and Bruce County’s Human Services department is here to help guide families through the subsidy application process.”
Application forms can be found on the Bruce County website and documents can be emailed to CAAP@brucecounty.on.ca. Documents could also be mailed to Bruce County Human Services at PO BOX 399, 30 Park Street, Walkerton, ON, N0G 2V0, or faxed to 519-881-4324.
