Jump Start Games
Jumpstart Games
In 2014 there were 17 Jumpstart Games with over 8,300 children in
multi-sport, and sport-specific games.
In 2015, PSP partnered with Jumpstart Games, which took place in July
at CFB Borden.
Important to Know
91 per cent of Canadians believe
participation in sports teaches children
important life skills
– Health benefits;
– Team play and sportsmanship,
building confidence or self-esteem;
– Developing social skills and
friendships;
– Learning how to succeed and fail,
and
– Keeping children busy and out of
trouble.
33 per cent of children do not
participate in organized sport largely
due to cost
- The two major barriers to participation
are enrollment fees (61 per cent) and
equipment costs (52 per cent).
- Parents spend on average $953 per
child each year for their kids to play
organized sports
- 82 per cent know a child who cannot
participate in organized sport due to the
cost
Military Families, “Then and Now”
• Today’s families have been asked to do more than in the past, and
more often.
• Family demographics are evolving and societal norms and
expectations adversely affecting families.
• Dual career/income families are at an all time high.
• Non serving spouse assumes high level of personal and professional
sacrifice
• Families are subjected to far more financial instability.
• 80% of families now live off base and the communities where they live
influence family life differently than in the past.

Why?
Geographic relocation,
operational deployments
and the relentless
upheaval of military life
are the major causes of
disruption and strain for
military families,
triggering many of the
challenges they face.
• It is very difficult for non-serving CAF
spouses to find and sustain reasonable,
gainful, continuous employment.
• Many military families experience
difficulty accessing suitable and
affordable housing in healthy, cohesive
communities.
• Military families are challenged in
achieving both short-term and long-
term financial well-being.
CAF Commitment
We recognize the important role families play in enabling the operational effectiveness of the Canadian Armed Forces and we acknowledge the unique nature of military life.
We honour the inherent resilience of families and we pay tribute to the sacrifices of families made in support of Canada. We pledge to work in partnership with the families and the communities in which they live.
We commit to enhancing military life.
