 Pathfinders: Every-Kid Can Play Initiative
This year our Red Deer programs are focusing delivering free school programs to reach more than a thousand students in Red Deer. We are also supporting free complimentary programs for the families  funded by Every Kid Can Play (EKCP) Program which is designed to address affordability and accessibility challenges to sport, physical activity, and recreation (SPAR) programs for Alberta kids and their families. We would like to thank the Government of Alberta's support to the non-profit sport sector to help deliver affordable access to sport and recreation opportunities.
