HRM Affordable Access Rec Programs
Registration for summer programing through HRM Recreation is coming up quickly at the end of April, and our SchoolsPlus team wanted to share some information with you about HRM’s Affordable Access Program for low-income families.
What is the Affordable Access Program?
This program provides either partial or full financial coverage for recreation programs for low-income children and youth. There are two ways to apply:
1. You can apply yourself! You will need a HRM Recreation account, your 2021 CRA Notice of Assessment, and current proof that you are receiving the Canada Child Tax Benefit. The application can be found linked here and can be submitted directly to affordableaccess@halifax.com.
2. You can contact your SchoolsPlus Assistant Lead Sherry Battiste by phone or text at 902 471 2445 or by email at sherry.battiste@hrce.ca, if you need help completing the application, creating an HRM Rec account, or if you do not have your CRA Notice of Assessment or proof of Child Tax Benefit. Our SchoolsPlus team can help you to complete and submit your application by asking you a few simple questions.
