"I cannot say enough great things about the P2P program. The opportunity of being able to afford to participate in activities within our community has been an incredibly positive journey for our entire family. It's been extremely rewarding and comforting to watch my granddaughters develop life-long skills. The program has truly given our family the opportunity to feel part of the community."  - P2P Participant
How to request affordable recreation funding:
 Based on family net income, individuals may be eligible for funding to take part in recreation activities. The Pathway to Potential (P2P) program, in partnership with the Town of LaSalle and County of Essex, makes funds available to support residents in LaSalle who may not have access to recreation activities. The goal of the program is to provide recreation opportunities to all individuals, regardless of financial circumstances.
