Coaches & Officials have a look:

NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR COACHES AND OFFICIALS.

The new Coaches and Officials Development Funding Program provides eligible coaches and officials with up to $500 per 12-month period toward approved development expenses.

Training that occurs in the province, or that is completed in the province, can be eligible for funding through the program. For example, a coach completing a sport-specific online course at home or attending an in-person seminar in a local community may now be eligible to receive funding to help offset the cost of training.
