Donation Supports Child Activity Assistance Program in Bruce County

Bruce County Human Services would like to thank the organizers and participants of the Kincardine Yoga Fest for their generous donation of $1305.00 to support the Child Activity Assistance Program (CAAP).

The Child Activity Assistance Program (CAAP) is a fund that assists families with the cost of activities such as school trips, school nutrition programs, extra-curricular activities, arts and cultural programs, Scouts/Embers, 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. 

The annual Kincardine Yoga Fest started 6 years ago as a way to connect those looking to continue their wellness journey and get participants active in the region’s beautiful local environments. Kincardine Yoga Fest offers several classes on the Pier, meditations, and nature experiences. All funds are donation-based from the participants and 100% of the proceeds go to a local charity or organization.

“Bruce County is very honoured to have the Kincardine Yoga Fest join us in supporting activity subsidy for local children,” said Tina Metcalfe, Director of Human Services, “When fees are a barrier for activities and programming, this assistance program can help give children the opportunity to participate.”
