Partnership Provides More Children the Opportunity to Participate

Bruce County entered a partnership with The Municipality of Kincardine which provided an additional $5,000 of funding to Bruce County’s Child Activity Assistance Program (CAAP). Bruce County will distribute these additional funds to Kincardine families through the Child Activity Assistance Program, a program that supports families across the County.

When fees are a barrier for activities and programming, CAAP can help give children the opportunity to participate. CAAP is a fund that assists families with the cost of activities such as school trips, school nutrition programs, camps, extra-curricular activities, arts and cultural programs, Guides/Scouts, etc. This subsidy is available for dependent children, living at home, who are under the age of 18. The maximum CAAP funding is $500.00 per year, per child.

“Bruce County is pleased to partner with the Municipality of Kincardine in supporting activity subsidy for local children,” said Wendy Woods, Business and Human Services Integration Manager, “Bruce County’s Human Services department is here to help guide families through the subsidy application process.”
