Summer Bursary Program
The NSDRC Summer Bursary Program offers financial support to North and West Vancouver families/guardians of children and youth who have a special need, disability or are in the process of receiving a diagnosis and may require additional support to attend summer recreation programs, camps or community-based activities. Bursaries can be used towards program or camp fees or to assist with payment of a support worker.

Funding for bursaries is made possible from a contract from the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD). Other funding sources typically include Variety the Children's Charity, CIBC Wood Gundy, West Vancouver Community Foundation, Service Clubs and private donations. We gratefully acknowledge the support of the District of West Vancouver, District of North Vancouver and City of North Vancouver through their Community Grants programs.
