Calgary Kidsport sees demand spike due to inflationary pressures

A Calgary charity that helps local kids get off the sidelines and into sports says it is seeing a massive spike in demand this year. Kidsport says it has recorded close to 45 per cent growth in demand for its services this year compared to last, largely driven by inflation pressures. "Many families are in difficult positions in terms of household finances, and sport becomes more of a luxury item than something (like) food and a roof over your head," said Kidsport executive director Kevin Webster
