Community sport brings us together and makes us stronger – as individuals and as a collective. We often speak to the impact on the field, but off the field is where community is built. It’s where we gather to celebrate, share food and reminisce. We understand the stress and challenges COVID-19 has created for families, making it difficult for athletes and teams to stay connected. And when sport returns, many clubs, teams and athletes will face financial challenges. Which is why More Rewards, along with founding partner Save-On-Foods, is proud to unveil this new program aimed at making the daily lives of youth sport families more affordable and rewarding.
This program will begin as soon as team sport can safely return to competition. In the meantime they invite you to register your team today, so you can be the first to receive more details when it come available.

Use of Funding: InMotion Network’s three Physical Activity funding programs are funded through AGLC gaming proceeds. All funds acquired through gaming must be used in accordance with AGLC policies. The heart of the policy is that all funds must be used on items that are essential to hosting a GO GIRL, GIRLS IN MOTION, WOMEN IN MOTION or TAKE THE LEAD program. AGLC has determined that all funds raised through gaming endeavours must be used to support not-for-profit organizations in Alberta and as such InMotion Network is not permitted to fund any level of government. Gaming Funds to support the three physical activity projects submitted through schools, towns, municipalities, etc. must flow through local not for profit groups.
