City of St. Albert Subsidy Program

Family and Community Support Services of City of St. Albert


Description
Offers an income-based program designed to remove some of the financial barriers associated with using City of St. Albert operated recreation facilities and public transit.

Service offers:

  • subsidy for low-income individuals and families to access recreation services and programs offered through the City of St. Albert
  • individuals with low income can receive free local transit passes and / or discounted commuter transit passes

Each individual or family member that receives the subsidy is entitled to:

  • 60 percent off an annual membership at Servus Place or 6 months free membership to either Servus Place or Fountain Park Recreation Centre
  • eligible applicants will receive $150.00 per child in the family to go towards City of St. Albert progeamming such as swimming and skating lessons, performing arts courses, summer camps, and pre-school programs

For people living on limited income, access or use of a vehicle or recreation membership can be expensive and challenging to fit into a tight household budget. Access to recreation and transit can make a big difference for kids, youth, families, and seniors in our community. This program supports greater access to employment, community events, and healthy lifestyle and reduces social isolation.

Eligibility
Yes, Service targeted to:
  • St. Albert residents
  • with low income
Applicants must be a resident of St. Albert and have not received subsidy from another source for the requested program, and be below the annual income threshold.
