Government Supporting After Hours Activities

Starting this month, 150 Ontario schools will give not-for-profit groups free access to schools after hours.
Offering school space at no cost will help not-for-profit groups provide affordable or free activities, such as sport, art and recreation programs for youth. These programs help bring communities together and keep young people active and safe.

This is part of Community Use of Schools, a program that helps all Ontario school boards make school space more affordable for use after hours. Increasing access to schools for community activities and services supports the goals of Breaking the Cycle: Ontario's Poverty Reduction Strategy, and was a recommendation of The Roots of Youth Violence report.
