What is Canadian Tire Jump Start?
 There is a growing need in our communities to make physical activity a priority in the lives of Canadian children. Canadian Tire is committed to providing Canadian children with the opportunity to participate in sports and recreation so they can develop essential life skills, self-esteem and confidence. To help make this happen, the Canadian Tire Foundation for Families introduced its national signature program, Canadian Tire JumpStart, which will deliver assistance to give all kids a sporting chance.
