JumpStart
              Who we fund is simple: Kids. Kids who want to get active. Kids who want to learn a new
              sport or activity. Kids who want to keep up with a sport or activity they already enjoy.
              But these kids just need a little extra financial help to get their name on the roster. Kids
              aged 4 to 18 from families in financial need can receive funding to help with registration
              fees, equipment and/or transportation. www.jumpstart.canadiantire.ca
Spirit of the Game

              non-profit organization with a volunteer board, the Spirit of the Game Society is
              structured to deliver 100% of all donations to providing league fees and covering
              equipment costs. It does this by working with generous partners and organizing annual
              funding events. www.sotgsociety.com

Weather permitting, this could be the perfect evening to
gather up those forgotten kites and head down to the

up lawn chairs, and watch the colourful patterns soar.
Even if the wind isn’t cooperating, you can still enjoy a
fun family play night in the Oliver Community Park. If
you wish to build a kite on site, please pre-register at the
Oliver Parks and Recreation Office.

Volunteers
Volunteers make all the difference!
Do you have skills, energy and a little bit of time to offer your community?
There are many rewarding and fun ways to volunteer with Oliver Parks and
Recreation, including Special Events, Program Assistant, Weight Room Attendant,
or Promotion/Marketing. Please call to find out more, or visit our website’s ‘Forms’
section to get started.

Volunteer Benefits Program
When you volunteer with us for programs and events you accumulate credits that
can be used towards your own (or your family’s) health and fitness opportunities,
including memberships to the weight room and pool or fitness programs such as
Yoga and Zumba. Anytime you wish to trade in your credits please come to the
Recreation Office and speak to staff who will be happy to assist you.

OUR KIDS CANoe!
Children growing up in Oliver, BC are blessed to have access
to some of Canada’s most beautiful beaches and lakes right
close to home. When the summer sun shines, local kids seem to
spend as much time in the water as out. Big thanks to BOATING
BC for helping our kids to experience the joy of boating and to
learn boat safety skills.
In April 2018, BOATING BC awarded the Oliver Parks and
Recreation Society $2500 to purchase four canoes. Our
canoeing program and Sun Fun program participants had a
great time using the canoes, and we plan to offer lots more
opportunities for paddlers of all ages over the next year. Check
out our fall paddling courses in this recreation guide. Thank
you, Boating BC!
