KidSport Grande Prairie is proud to announce its new name: KidSport Peace Country. This change reflects the organization’s expanded service area across Northwestern Alberta, while maintaining its core mission — to remove financial barriers to sport so that all kids can participate.
What’s Changing:
-
Our Name: From KidSport Grande Prairie to KidSport Peace Country
-
Our Reach: Now serving families in communities across the Peace Country Region — north to the NWT Border, east to Valleyview, south to Grovedale, and west to the BC Border. Families living anywhere within this expanded catchment can now apply for KidSport funding.
What’s Staying the Same:
-
Our Mission: So ALL Kids Can Play!
-
Our Process: Families will still apply for grants online in the same way they always have.
-
Our Commitment: Continued partnerships with sport organizations, municipalities, and schools to grow inclusive, accessible sport opportunities.
“This is an exciting step for KidSport,” says Karna Germsheid, Regional Manager for KidSport Alberta. “Expanding our boundaries means we can help even more kids across Peace Country access the benefits of sport — building confidence, friendships, and healthy habits for life.”
