KidSport Nelson Launches 10th Annual Give the Gift of Sport Campaign
National not-for-profit aims to raise $1,000,000 and help bring the power of sport Full Circle
Donate online at KidSport.ca/GiftofSport !!NELSON, BC – December 1, 2021– KidSport™ has launched their tenth annual Give the Gift of Sport™ fundraising campaign, calling on Canadians to donate online at KidSport.ca/GiftofSport. Over 30 percent of Canadian youth under the age of 18 cannot afford to play organized sport. With the support of the Government of Canada, corporate partners, and the generosity of donors across the country, KidSport’s annual campaign—running until January 4, 2022—aims to get more kids off the sidelines, into the game, and experience the gift of sport.
This year, by giving the gift of sport that you received as a kid, you can help create lasting memories and fill the gap for other kids who want to play. Help bring the power of sport Full Circle and Give the Gift of Sport at KidSport.ca/GiftofSport where personal, corporate or tribute donations can be directed to any of KidSport’s 166 community chapters.
The power of sport is in how it shapes us in those special moments – in the memories cherished today and stories told tomorrow. It nurtures our growth and strengthens our communities. “Sport has been the driving factor in shaping who I am, it has taught me all sorts of life skills and gave me the confidence to set goals and dream big when I was a kid,” adds Canadian race walker and Olympian Evan Dunfee. “KidSport believes that every child should have that same opportunity and help remove the financial barriers to make that happen.”
About KidSport:

Through a confidential application process grants are given so they can play a season of sport.Since its creation in 2007, KidSport Nelson has disbursed over $275,000 and helped over 1400 kids from our region receive grants and sport introduction programming.

The Nelson Bylaw Department in collaboration with the Nelson Police Department and B.C Conservation Service would like to remind residents of the importance this time of year is for safety regarding the City of Nelson Waste Management and Wildlife Attractant Bylaw #3198.
With bears preparing for hibernation they are beginning to seek out as many food sources as they can like fruit trees, gardens, garbage, compost and bird feeders. Did you know that bird feeders are not to be used from April 15- December 1 each year in the City? Any fruit that has fallen from a tree or a bush is to be removed from the ground and properly disposed every three days. It is critical to do our best and have all residential and commercial garbage stored securely within a principal building, an accessory building or in a wildlife restraint container. No person is allowed to store, deposit, pile, place, discard or otherwise accumulate any garbage in or on any property and in such a manner that may be accessible to wildlife, except where authorized by this bylaw. A potential fine of $150.00 could be issued if not abided by. Please do your best to adhere with this Bylaw so we can protect our wildlife and bears, in order to avoid the needless euthanizing of wildlife.
The City of Nelson is offering at cost bear resistant bins for those who are interested. You can contact Public Works at 250-352-8238. If you have inquiries for the Bylaw Department you can contact us at 250-505-5666 and for any emergencies contact the Nelson Police Department at 250-354-3919 or 911 for in progress emergencies. For problems with wildlife contact BC Conservation RAPP line at 1-877-952-4277.
