Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is available through various agencies for players requiring assistance for minor sports. If you have applied for assistance, you need to confirm your application status with the registrar at winfieldmha@shaw.ca and are responsible for the remainder of fees payable when due. In general, funding programs do not cover the full cost of registration fees. Also, make sure you are registered for the current season if applying for funding. The funding companies do check if the applicant is registered before they consider the application.
