ActiveAssist is a fee subsidy program offered by the City of Brampton, designed to help low-income families and individuals in Brampton participate in Recreation programs. Confidentiality is always maintained. This assistance is given in the form of a credit to your account.

Subsidy credits can be used towards:

Once your application is received and approved, your account will be activated. Staff will apply the subsidy amount to the primary account holder as a single lump sum payment in the amount of $275 for each eligible member of the family (e.g. An approved family of four (4) would receive $1,100.00).

Once approved, you qualify for the program for 2 years. You will receive an approval confirmation with important information about the program and registration.
