Acart has a proud heritage of supporting local community organizations across Canada from coast to coast. We care deeply about the communities we call home and are honoured to give back to the people and places that have contributed to our well-being and success.
In addition to the equipment donations and food bank contributions we participate in, we have taken our role as a healthcare support organization to heart through our sponsorship of numerous local youth and adult sports teams across Canada.
Whether it’s helping to cover registration fees for a youth ice hockey team or supplying new jerseys for adult recreational soccer teams, we’re committed to investing in communities.
How Physical Activity Helps Reduce Healthcare Costs
According to ParticipACTION, physical activity positively impacts Canada’s economy, its social and environmental well-being, as well as healthcare costs. Here are some eye-opening statistics:
Health
- $629 million in health care costs could be saved annually by getting just 10% of people to move more.
Social
- 76% of people feel welcomed and included through physical activity, sport, and recreation activities.
Economic
- $37.2 billion is the economic value of sport, physical activity and recreation in Canada.
Environmental
- $564 million could be saved annually in reduced greenhouse gas emissions if just 1% of people switched from private car use to active transportation.
Sports teach kids teamwork, perseverance, and confidence—skills that last a lifetime. By supporting youth teams, we’re helping create opportunities for young athletes to grow both on and off the ice.
Our sponsorship of adult leagues helps promote wellness, mental health, and social connection—values that align with our company’s culture and mission.
We’re proud to see our logo on jerseys and sidelines, knowing we play a small part in bringing the community closer together.
