Financial Assistance For Coaches: Quest For Gold Enhanced Coaching Fund

q4g_page_graphic1 The Quest for Gold Enhanced Coaching Program recognizes coaches have out-of-pocket expenses for many things. Coaches who wish to continue their training and education, or increase their knowledge and certification can take advantage of the Coach Bursary program where up to 70 per cent of course fees are reimbursed for Ontario resident coaches who pass and complete course work. What if you have to travel more than 100 km each way to the course? Not a problem. A traval subsidy of up to $200 is available to help offset that cost.
