Affordable Access to Healthier Generations
Vivo’s Everybody Plays program and partnerships make active living more accessible by offering subsidized rates on memberships, admissions, and programs. These programs support individuals and families facing financial barriers, ensuring more people can connect, play, and thrive in our community.
Not in Need of Assistance?
You can give the gift of play to your neighbours in need by donating to Everybody Plays. Your donation will remove financial barriers, giving your neighbours access to Vivo and a chance to live a healthy, active, and more connected life.

KidSport Calgary
KidSport provides grants to kids from families facing financial barriers so they can participate in registered sport programs and experience the lifelong benefits of a season of sport. KidSport Calgary & Area provides grants of up to $500 per eligible child, per year (January 1 – December 31) towards sport registration fees.
Apply online through the Kidsport Canada website to begin your process for subsidized funding for your child’s programs at Vivo!

No application is necessary! Vivo applies for the grant on your behalf and $100 is automatically removed from each family’s preschool fees every month before you are charged.
