Do you qualify for REAL?

To participate in the REAL program you must meet these qualifications:

You must be a resident of St. John's. Please provide a document that matches the address on the application.
You must provide proof of income for your family. Your Notice of Assessment is preferred (line 150). Contact REAL Program for other acceptable statements of income.

Guidelines

We accept applications seasonally. Apply by the deadline date for each part of the year.
Children and youth get one free activity each season. A separate application for each child and each season is needed. Applications are not held over from one season to the next.
This is a service for children and youth currently not participating in paid or funded recreation programs.
Resources and placements are limited and often in demand. If a child is placed in an activity, they must attend. If they cannot attend or participate, the parent or guardian must contact the REAL Program.
If transportation or equipment is required, contact must be made with the REAL Program as soon as possible.
