KidSport Parkland

Come join us TransAlta Tri Leisure Centre information night!

It is with heavy hearts that we remember our founder, friend, and dedicated Grant Administrator, Donna Smith.

Donna's vision and unwavering commitment to KidSport Parkland helped create opportunities for numerous local children to access the lifelong benefits of sport. Beyond KidSport, she devoted herself to countless community organizations and causes, always leading with kindness, generosity, and a genuine desire to make our community stronger.

Donna was more than a leader - she was our friend. Her impact on KidSport Parkland and our community will be felt for generations to come.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the Smith family and all who knew and loved Donna and her husband during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you, Donna, for everything you gave to our community. We will honour your legacy by continuing the work you cared so deeply about.

Big hearts come in small packages 💙

A huge thank you to Tia P, who chose to turn her birthday into something truly meaningful. Instead of gifts, Tia raised money to support other kids in getting involved in sport and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Tia asked thoughtful questions, showed so much kindness, and reminded us all what generosity looks like. Her big heart is already making a difference in the lives of other children in our community.

Thank you, Tia, for inspiring us and for helping more kids get in the game!

Sport is more than just play and is incredibly valuable to kids! It helps develop healthy habits, allows kids to feel included, and teaches valuable life skills. That’s why the Every Kid Can Play Program is here to ensure ALL kids have the opportunity to play!
