Thank you to our partners for their continued support of our program!
Thank you to Urban Systems Foundation and BCICF for supporting our arena footing updating project! Our riders and horses are super happy!
We want to thank Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities for their recent support through a grant of $9,799 to help cover some instructor wages, operating expenses and something new to us - our Smile Fund.
The Smile Fund (adopted the name from a good friend) is to help riders who have aged out of funding continue their therapeutic riding lessons and to educate them on new funding opportunities as adults. Did you know that BC Therapeutic Riding Association has Bursary opportunities for members in good standing for a minimum of 12 months and their annual membership only costs $10! Thank you Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities for your continued support with our program and our riders. It means so much! We are excited to share that Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association has been selected to receive two Community Development Grants from Canadian Tire Jumpstart and Sport Canada.
Community Development Grant - Operational for $11,200 will go towards wages for our certified instructors and towards helping hire another instructor and helping them get certified for our 23-24 fiscal. Community Development Grant - Programming for $6,700 will go towards helping support our 2023 Winter Session. We are able to use these funds towards wages, facility costs and insurance. #SupportedByJumpstart #SupportedbySportCanada Along with Jumpstart, we understand the importance of sport for the health and well-being of kids and their families and are proud of the work we do to provide community sport and play. |
