MTW is a player fee driven
organization, but one of our goals is not to allow a player or
families financial challenges get in the way of an opportunity
to play the game. The key is inform MTW as soon as possible
about your situation. With that in mind, there are several ways
to have your fees subsidized. |

 For players in
need of financial aid to pay their $600*player fee, players can
sell tickets with those monies collected
will be put toward their player fees. Passes are sold
for $20 each so a player needs to sell 30 passes to
make his fee. The Passes will be marked for control purposes and

community-based charitable program that helps kids ages 4-18 in
financial need participate in organized sport and recreation such as
MTW football.

obtain funding for their children.

child to receive support, Canadian Tire Jumpstart
accepts applications from eligible families twice
per year: 1) the last 2 weeks in January; and
2) the last 2 weeks in July.

process is handled through a central toll free call
centre (1-877-616-6600). The family name, address
and phone number and other relevant information
pertaining to the recreational activity your child
would like to participate in will be required and

Childrens Tax Credit |
 The
children's fitness tax credit
lets parents claim up to $500 per
year for eligible fitness expenses paid for each
child who is under 16 years of age at the beginning
of the year in which the expenses are paid.If a child qualifies
for the disability tax credit, parents can claim up
to $500 per year in eligible fitness expenses paid
for the child who is under 18 years of age
at the beginning of the year. Also, if at least $100
in eligible fitness expenses has been paid for the
child, an additional amount of $500
can be added to the eligible fitness expenses
actually incurred. As with most other
non-refundable tax credits, the children’s fitness
tax credit is calculated by multiplying the total
expense by the lowest marginal tax rate (the rate
for 2007 is 15%). |
