Operation Sparrow

Also announced was the new “Operation Sparrow” a new fund offering kids and youths free opportunities to participate in karate and theatre who couldn’t otherwise afford to - with plans to add more activity choices to it in the future. The operation includes the option of applying for transportation to and from locations as well.

“PACC has been involved in this endeavour from it’s beginning and has tried to ensure it remains as user friendly as possible. We think kids deserve these opportunities today, even though ideally we wish there wasn’t a need. Offering transportation was another option we pushed, as this is often the biggest stumbling block for marginalized kids. This is an absolutely fantastic fund that took private businesses, including Robinson’s Karate and Spotlight Theatre School, to get the ball rolling, along with other caring partners. We will be challenging businesses, sports organizations, and others to participate - as we would like to include hockey, baseball soccer, dance and other activities to offer all kids a level field of play.” PACC Chair Tom Pearson said.
