Children’s Fitness Tax Credit

Beginning with the 2007 tax year, the Government of Canada allows a non-refundable tax credit based on eligible fitness expenses paid by parents to register a child in a prescribed program of physical activity. The tax credit represents an effort to facilitate access by children and youth to physical activity and recreation programs as a means of helping them maintain a health active lifestyle.

For more information on the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, visit the Government of Canada’s Web site:
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/whtsnw/fitness-eng.html.
For information about age and duration requirements, visit

Receipts

You should receive, or ask for, a receipt from organizations that provide prescribed programs of physical activity for which you paid to have your child enrolled. Note: Keep receipts for six years.

Here’s how to access reprints of your registration receipt for eligible City of Winnipeg courses:

  • Go to leisureonline – Log into your family account and email a copy of the receipt to yourself from your account history.
  • In-Person – Visit the Community Services Offices at 395 Main or the Front Desk of Fort Rouge Leisure Centre, Freight House, Peguis Fitness Centre or any City of Winnipeg pool and request a copy of the receipt.
