Child Activity Assistance Program Application

For recreational sports - hockey, soccer, baseball or swimming - submit a Jumpstart application here.

Hardcopy applications can be picked up at any of the Bruce County Human Service office locations.

Ensure that you allow enough time for Jumpstart to process the application as processing time can be 4-6 weeks.

If Jumpstart no longer has funds, CAAP funds may cover recreational sporting fees or supplies.

For more information, please contact Human Services at 1-800-265-3022 or email us HuSinfo@brucecounty.on.ca or visit one of our locations.
