On the campaign trail on Saturday, the Progressive Conservatives promised to introduce a tax credit for children’s sports, arts and culture programs so families can claim eligible fees paid to register their kids in these types of activities.
Leader Blaine Higgs said his government would allow families to claim up to $500 in expenses per child for a program involving physical activity, and up to $250 per child for programs involving arts, culture and recreational activities.
The Conservatives said they would also eliminate the controversial school nutrition policy known as Policy 711.
