Low Cost/No Cost Recreation
At Oliver Parks and Recreation, we don’t want to see anyone left out. To assist with being able to
participate in programs, there are a few financial assistance options available.
Anyone Can Join
Anyone Can Join is a subsidy program supported by local organizations such as the Oliver Osoyoos
Winery Association, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #97 and the Oliver Elks, to provide financial
assistance to Oliver/Area “C” children, youth and adults towards membership and registration
into recreation programs of their choice, up to $150 per person per calendar year. Families or
individuals in need of assistance are asked to complete and submit an application form at the
Oliver Community Centre. Each form is reviewed in confidence by the Recreation Supervisor and
approved applicants are registered directly into the program.
JumpStart
Who we fund is simple: Kids. Kids who want to get active. Kids who want to learn a
new sport or activity. Kids who want to keep up with a sport or activity they
already enjoy. These kids just need a little extra financial help to get their name on
the roster. Kids aged 4 to 18 from families in financial need can receive funding to
help with registration fees, equipment and/or transportation.
www.jumpstart.canadiantire.ca
Spirit of the Game
The Spirit of the Game Society was established to help families in Oliver and
Osoyoos. A non-profit organization with a volunteer board, the Spirit of the Game
Society is structured to deliver 100% of all donations to providing league fees and
covering equipment costs. It does this by working with generous partners and
organizing annual funding events. www.sotgsociety.com
Anyone Can Join applications are available at the Oliver Parks and Recreation Office.
Spirit of the Game and Jumpstart applications are available on their respective websites.

2 ADD LOTS AND LOTS OF LEAVES
Leaves break down naturally into
compost. The more leaves you have

• Coffee grounds/tea bags/egg shells
in your pile, the less odours and • Fresh grass clippings (see below)
better compost. Keep extra leaves
for winter and summer (see 3 below). • Green plant trimmings
• Weeds that have not gone to seed
3 PLACE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES UNDER LEAVES
Place fruits and vegetables under leaves in your compost bin.
A layer of leaves keeps odours down and reduces fruit flies.
BROWN MATERIALS
(CARBON-RICH)
Either lift up leaves or place fresh leaves on top. Avoid

5 WATER YOUR COMPOST PILE
In the dry Okanagan-Similkameen, lack of water is the
main reason why compost breaks down slowly.
WHAT CANNOT BE COMPOSTED?
Water regularly to speed up the process. • Anything that would attract
pests like meat, bones,
greasy foods and oils
GRASS CLIPPINGS PROBLEMS
• Grain products
Unlike leaves, grass clippings can bind up. This • Cooked food scraps

Rodents will be looking for a warm, dry place to nest. Keep adding
materials! Things will break down quickly when everything thaws.
How to use finished compost
• If purchasing compost check the label or ask the
retailer for application recommendations.
• Finished compost looks like soil. Screen your compost
and put uncomposted materials back in your bin. Any
extra 1/2 inch wire mesh makes a great screen.
• Place compost on top of the soil around plants. This is called top
dressing. Compost will naturally move into the soil. The best time to
add compost is in the fall to prepare your garden and lawn for spring.
• Add up to 30% compost into potting soil or top dress house plants.
