Last week the North Battleford Branch of Toronto Dominion Bank presented KidSport Battlefords with a cheque for $700.
Branch Manager Meghan Kennedy says, "Our branch was allocated a little money to fund local play-related activities for youth and children in our local community. I immediately thought of KidSport because I know the great work [KidSport] are doing in the area."
This money will help local kids facing financial barriers the opportunity to participate in registered sports so that all kids can play. The goal of KidSport is to provide these children with the opportunity to achieve physical, social, intellectual and moral development through participation in sport.
According to Kidsport, if all children have the opportunity to play, learn self respect, gain self confidence, adopt active and healthy lifestyles and realize dreams through sport, then these children may have a better chance of becoming contributing members and leaders of their communities.
