We recognize that it can be expensive to play sports however, we don't want anyone (kids or adults) to miss out on the benefit that it can provide both developmentally and for overall health, both mental and physical. Below are some amazing programs, including a City of Lethbridge-created program, that assists with financial aid so that you can enjoy the game of roller hockey. If you need any help in navigating any of these programs, please don't hesitate to reach out so that we can assist you.
Launched in November 2015, the City of Lethbridge has a Fee Assistance program for residents who face financial barriers to participating in recreational and cultural opportunities. Each qualifying individual can receive up to $150 for one activity in the spring, and one activity in the fall, offered by a local organization providing recreational and cultural programming and/or memberships.
