2022
ANNUAL
REPORT
MESSAGE FROM OUR LEADERSHIP
After years of closures and restrictions, Canadian kids and sport organizations were eager to return to a sense of normalcy in 2022. To honour our founder, Martha Billes’ vision that all kids in Canada have a chance to fulfil their dreams, we knew we had an important role to play. So, last year, Jumpstart committed to guiding the recovery of community sport and recreation in Canada and creating a more equitable and safe game for all kids.
Against the backdrop of rising registration costs and lost capacity at community sport organizations, we recognized this was an ambitious goal. But we are proud of the progress we made – progress that resulted in a record-breaking 440,000 Canadian kids in need participating in sport and play – the most in any single year to date.
As a charity, we were intentional about reaching and uplifting the kids in Canada who needed it most. This included continuing to remove accessibility barriers to play by opening nine additional inclusive play spaces in communities across the country. By the end of 2022, kids and families of all abilities could access a Jumpstart Inclusive Playground in every province in Canada.
DELIMITER
In 2022, we also doubled down on our work to advance gender equity in sport. Beyond securing new national partnerships, Jumpstart also launched an inaugural leadership program for girls in sport: Play to Lead. With the Program’s launch, we are helping keep girls enrolled and engaged in sport, while fostering a powerful network of female athletes.
And that’s not all. By the end of the year, Jumpstart celebrated helping a total of 3 million kids since the charity’s inception in 2005. To all our employees, customers, partners, and friends who have generously supported Jumpstart’s work over the years, we say thank you. Like any success in sport, this milestone was truly a team effort.
Although we have made great progress, our work is not done yet. As we look towards helping the next 3 million kids, Jumpstart will not only continue to rebuild community sport to pre-pandemic levels but will shepherd a national sport system even better than it was before – one firmly grounded in equity, safety, and inclusivity so that all kids can achieve their full potential.

3 MILLION KIDS AND COUNTING
At the end of 2022, Jumpstart celebrated an impressive milestone: helping 3 million kids in Canada
access sport and play since 2005. This achievement would not have been possible without the contributions of our generous donors and supporters to date. Through the years, Jumpstart’s mission to enrich the lives of kids has remained unchanged. However, our approach has and will continue to evolve to respond to the social, economic, and accessibility barriers kids face to participating in sport.
2022 STATE OF SPORT REPORT
Our 2022 State of Sport Report detailed the second year of a research study that we undertook in partnership with Ipsos to gauge the impact of COVID-19 on community sport in Canada – and to understand how we must respond.
The Report’s key findings indicated that major barriers to sport remain for Canadian youth. After two years of uncertainty, the health and longevity of sport organizations and their ability to provide opportunities for all kids to play continue to be at risk.
KEY FINDINGS

Canadian parents reported that there are fewer, more expensive opportunities for their kids to participate in sport
- 45% of parents reported that their child is currently not playing any sports

Sport organizations reported higher operating costs and lost capacity
- 82% of sport organizations expressed concern about their ability to run programs in 2022

After two years of uncertainty, community sport organizations are at risk
- 75% of community sport organizations say costs to run programs have increased

Nearly half of parents reported that the number of organized sports their child participates in has declined
- 80% of organizations say the availability of organized sports for children to participate in has decreased
REBUILDING SPORT FOR CANADIAN KIDS
At Jumpstart, we are committed to guiding the recovery of organized sport and play in Canada while building a better and more equitable sport system for all kids. Operating through 289 local Chapters from coast to coast, in 2022, Jumpstart disbursed more than $34.3M to help over 440,000 get off the sidelines and into the game.

“My son loves sports. He’s only six, but I can tell they are already a huge part of what brings him happiness in his little six-year-old life. He would not be the child he is today without being able to play sports with the help of your organization. This means the world to us.”
— Jumpstart Parent
COMMUNITY SPORT FOR ALL INITIATIVE
Jumpstart was proud to be selected as one of the first national recipients of the Government of Canada’s Community Sport for All Initiative (CSAI), awarded $7.7M for the charity’s ability to effectively rebuild and increase sport participation rates for
equity-deserving youth in Canada.
In 2022, Jumpstart disbursed $4.9M of the CSAI funding, issuing 355 grants to help 124,569 kids
and 219 community sport organizations.
RECIPIENT HIGHLIGHTS

FUTURE BOUNCE ATHLETICS ASSOCIATION
Future Bounce Athletics Association offers basketball programs for self-identified girls. Girls in grades 3 to 10 participate in training programs with peers of similar ages and emotional stages, helping to foster new friendships and learn new skills in a collaborative environment.
DELIMITER
With support from Jumpstart, Future Bounce Athletics added a new 3-v-3 league for girls in grades 8 and 9. The game-like experience for the participants helps build their confidence and boosts their chances of being selected to play on high school basketball teams.

CAPE BRETON BLIZZARD FEMALE HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
The Cape Breton Blizzard Female Hockey Association delivers a diverse and inclusive girls’ hockey experience in an effort to increase participation for those who have historically been excluded from the sport. In just three years, the number of participants more than doubled in size!
DELIMITER
With support from Jumpstart, the Cape Breton Blizzard Female Hockey Association was able to hire additional staff to help manage the incredible growth and continue delivering high-quality programming for underserved youth.

SUPPORTING INCLUSIVE PLAY FROM COAST TO COAST
Inclusive Play Program
Too many kids are left on the sidelines due to accessibility barriers. Backed by a $50 million fundraising commitment from Canadian Tire Corporation, Jumpstart invests in destination play spaces, multi-sport courts, infrastructure grants, and funding for parasports to remove accessibility barriers and create inclusive play opportunities for kids of all abilities.
Designed with all children in mind, Jumpstart is working to create large-scale, inclusive play spaces in every province and territory in Canada. With the support of Canadian Tire Associate Dealers and local municipalities, in 2022, Jumpstart built nine new inclusive play spaces in communities across the country, including:
Four multi sport courts
Three playgrounds
One splash pad
One para hockey rink
Since 2017, Jumpstart has supported the development of 42 inclusive play spaces in Canada, equivalent to nearly 500,000 square feet!
“Visiting Jumpstart’s inclusive playground at Unwin Park in Surrey, BC, this summer was life-changing for my family. It was the first time since my son began using his wheelchair that we did not feel out of place at a playground, nor sad about him not having access or anything to play with. Quite the opposite, we felt so much joy and relief watching him explore and play in the same way his peers do, for the first time in his life.”
— Jumpstart Parent

With the opening of a Jumpstart Inclusive Playground in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in the fall of 2022, Jumpstart proudly celebrated reaching the milestone of having opened an inclusive playground in every province in Canada.

In the summer of 2022, the first-ever Jumpstart Splash Pad was opened in Welland, Ontario. The Splash Pad is designed to support various physical, sensory and cognitive needs while providing kids with a fun space to cool off with their friends on warm summer days. As a bonus, the Splash Pad is also energy and water efficient!
Inclusive Playgrounds Playbook
As a proven champion of inclusive play, Jumpstart participated in the creation of a first-of-its-kind playbook to help increase equitable access to play opportunities for all kids.
Developed in collaboration with Holland Bloorview Hospital, the University of Toronto, and the University of Alberta, the Inclusive Playgrounds Playbook offers municipalities, community groups, practitioners, and families living with a disability a comprehensive, free resource for creating inclusive playgrounds.

CHAMPIONING GIRLS IN SPORT
We know that sport offers many valuable benefits, such as the opportunity to develop leadership skills, new friendships, and resilience. However, we also know that girls face unique barriers to participation which affect their potential to stay enrolled in sport, and to continue reaping these benefits. At Jumpstart, we are creating opportunities and empowering girls to stay engaged in sport for life, so they can grow into strong leaders on the court, on the field, and in their communities.

In 2022, Jumpstart launched its first-ever flagship program for girls in sport. Play to Lead is a sport leadership program designed to empower young women to reach their full potential and advance gender equity in sport.
To kick off Play to Lead, Jumpstart hosted a two-day, in-person Summit in Toronto for the 34 female athletes and 25 coaches participating in the program. At the Summit, participants forged new friendships while taking part in skills-based workshops and unique, fun activities.
“I learned a lot of transferable leadership skills that are valuable in all aspects of my life like in school, theater, or sports. Things like communication, grit, and being authentic to yourself.”
— Play to Lead Athlete

Canadian Women & Sport
Jumpstart and Canadian Women & Sport teamed up to release the second edition of The Rally Report, leading research on gender disparities in sport.
DELIMITER
The Rally Report 2022 revealed barriers preventing girls from accessing safe, quality sport and called on leaders to invest in improvements.

She’s4Sports
Representation matters. Jumpstart partnered with She’s4Sports to increase the representation of diverse women in sport media.
DELIMITER
She’s4Sports’ How We Play video series, gives youth the unique experience of seeing how LGBTQ+ sport leaders and female athletes built their careers in sport.
Thank you to our generous supporters
CTC’s network of customers, employees, vendors and other business partners stepped up to contribute their individual time and resources to support Jumpstart’s work and help get kids into the game. Thank you for championing kids in need and giving them the opportunity to fulfil their dreams.
