On January 1, 2007 the Children's Fitness Tax Credit came into effect. This credit will cover eligible fees up to $500 per child for enrolment in physical activity programs. The purpose of this credit is to help Canadian children maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
During the last federal election, the Conservative Party of Canada promised Canadians they would consider extending such a plan "for all ages." Please encourage your friends and family to help make the Adult Fitness Tax Credit a realization.
What can you do to help pass the Adult Fitness Tax Credit. Send a Postcard to your local MP and The Minister of Finance asking them to considering extending the Fitness Tax Credit to all Canadians regardless of age.
