For 2017 and subsequent taxation years, the children's fitness tax credit and the additional amount for children eligible for the disability tax credit will no longer be available.
In previous taxation years the maximum eligible per child for the fitness tax credit was $1000, and $500 for the children's arts tax credits. In 2016, these amounts were reduced by 50%. For 2017 and subsequent taxation years, both credits will be eliminated.
Help sign this petition in order to bring awareness to this issue. Help bring back children's fitness and arts tax credit!

It's very important to encourage youth to participate in extra-curricular activities (such as those in sports and the arts). Lack of financial support should not be a reason preventing kids to enjoy the healthy activities they are motivated to be a part of.
The Liberal party of Canada has forgotten to take care of the middle class yet again. A fully used credit was only 150$ however welcomed for middle class Canadians, shame on them paying only lip service and doing nothing to alleviate the financial burdens of young families.
With this credit the conservative government was able to reduce undeclared cash transactions. Trainers were forced to declare revenues as we all demanded receipts unfortunately this Liberal government has not considered lost tax revenues as parents will be creating their own tax credits by paying cash and reducing their cash.
You want our kids to get off their phones and play outside so then you shouldn't take out the tax credit.
Children need to stay active and healthy. Fitness needs to be encouraged and enabled by governments. These tax credits help parents make it affordable for their children to participate in activities otherwise not available to them. It would be a shame to eliminate this from our youth.
fitness and arts, imperative for a healthy mind and body!!!
We want to keep our children active and stimulate their creativity.

Promotion of children's fitness is touted as a number 1 priority. Our government needs to get (remain?) on board. Also children should be encouraged to develop their creative sides something that might become unaffordable for many families.
