Jump Start program reinvigorated in Espanola

If you would like to assist children returning to their sporting and other interests, then the Jump Start Program overseen by Canadian Tire is an option.

Children have returned to several sports in the last few months with the lifting of COVID protocols, but some families may find it difficult to afford the costs associated with their interests.

To that end, The Espanola and Little Current Lions Clubs donated cheques to Stacey Van Allen of Canadian Tire, $2,000 and $1,550 respectively to support the larger community.

Anyone wishing to support the program can also donate at any cashier at the store or to receive funding.
