It’s so heartwarming to see so many photos across our social media feeds of kids dressed up in their athletic gear, participating with their team, not all families are that fortunate. In fact, many across Canada cannot afford the costs of organized sports but that is changing thanks to Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart!
