For example, the Province of Ontario’s Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport Ontario’s After School Program (ASP) supports municipalities, non-profits, and First Nations communities with funding to offer safe, enjoyable and affordable after school programs to youth across Ontario. According to the ministry, the program is delivered by over 80 organizations and supports over 13,000 children and youth from kindergarten to grade 12. The program reached $14.6 million in funding for the ASP for the 2023-2024 school year. Recommendations
