Bruce County encourages eligible families to explore the Child Activity Assistance Program (CAAP), which helps provide children the opportunity to participate in activities and programming when fees are a barrier.

This opportunity is available for families with a gross income of less than $49,466 and can assist with the cost of activities, such as school trips, school nutrition programs, extracurricular activities, arts and cultural programs, Scouts/Embers, etc. Bruce County families can access this program for their dependent children under the age of 18, and receive up to $500 per child, per year.

“Bruce County is committed to helping children and families enhance their level of participation and quality of life in our communities,” said Tina Metcalfe, director of human services. “The CAAP helps ensure children have access to extracurricular activities that support their growth and development, and the human services department is here to help guide families through the subsidy application process.”
