Who are we?
P.R.O. Kids is a community program that helps Dieppe and Memramcook youth ages 2 to 18, whose families are experiencing financial difficulties, to participate in community, cultural and sports activities.
The program allows these young people to register for activities that would otherwise not be accessible to them for financial or equipment-related reasons or because of their particular family situation.
Financial needs
Families eligible for the P.R.O. Kids program often find themselves under the low income threshold which has been set at $60,000 before taxes for a family of four.
This amount is based on the low income thresholds of the Canada Revenue Agency and takes into account the inflation recorded in recent years.
- Family of 2 – $46,000
- Family of 3 – $53,000
- Family of 4 – $60,000
- Family of 5 – $67,000
- Family of 6 – $74,000
- Family of 7 – $81,000
Other eligibility criteria
- live in Dieppe or Memramcook
- only one activity per season
- must not already be registered in a paid activity
Examples of scenarios that may indicate a financial need:
- death of one or both parents
- loss of employment of one or both parents
- serious illness of one or both parents
- separation or divorce
- foster or respite family

Coop IGA Wool Sock Walk
The Coop IGA in Dieppe has been a generous sponsor for several years and has committed to matching funds raised, up to a maximum of $10,000. To raise the initial $10,000, people are invited to take part in the Walk or collect donations in their workplace and from family and friends. This can be done by submitting a form or simply donating.
