The countless positive benefits of sport, wellness, and cultural activities are well-documented. But sometimes cost can be a barrier to participation in these kinds of activities. To help make sure everyone in Kentville and the surrounding areas can live an involved and active life. 

By providing financial grants for recreation, The Spike Fund promotes and enables physical activity, confidence and self-esteem building, health and wellness, leadership skills, friendships, and the opportunity to be part of a team. The fund has been growing and is always ready to be put into action. (Why “Spike”? It’s the mascot of Kentville, made famous in the book by Sandra and Ron Lightburn, “Pumpkin People”!)

Anyone in the Kentville and surrounding areas in need of financial support to participate in a recreation program can apply. Recreation is defined as any activity done for enjoyment when one is not working. 

Without community support, the Spike Fund cannot exist.
