The Ontario government investing $43.9 million over three years to continue the province’s After School Program (ASP), keeping more than 13,000 children and youth in underserved communities active and healthy each year.
As part of our government’s plan to protect Ontario, this funding will ensure the ASP can continue to provide safe, supervised activities and tutoring for students, along with nutritious snacks, at low or no cost, setting them up for success, inside and outside the classroom.
We are proud to invest in programs that give hard-working parents access to fun, safe and supervised activities for their children.
By establishing three-year agreements, we are cutting red tape for our partners and creating more stability for providers and participants – helping ensure families continue to have access to the high-quality, active recreation programs they rely on.
Our government works with 110 organizations across the province, including municipalities, First Nations and community-based non-profits such as YMCAs and Boys and Girls Clubs to administer the ASP.
This funding will ensure the ASP can continue to provide safe, supervised activities and tutoring for students, along with nutritious snacks, at low or no cost, setting them up for success, inside and outside the classroom.
