About the Recruitment Programs Fund (RPF):
The RPF presented by RBC Insurance is intended to support the creation of a new program, or go towards the expansion of an existing successful initiative providing a positive introductory Parasport experience. Funds may be used towards enhancing program options, such as facility rental space, coaching, volunteer training and more.
RPF was launched in 2010 (formerly the First Contact Fund).
The RPF is made possible through financial contributions from Sport Canada, RBC Insurance and the Canadian Paralympic Committee.
