Baker Tilly firms in Alberta team up with KidSport Alberta to help more kids get in the game

Baker Tilly firms across Alberta are joining forces to make a difference in the lives of local children. Through a $20,000 sponsorship of KidSport Alberta, we are helping to break down financial barriers so that all kids—regardless of their family’s financial situation—can experience the lifelong benefits of sport.

This sponsorship will directly help over 50 kids in Calgary, Edmonton, Rocky Mountain House, Banff, and Canmore get into organized sports, allowing them to develop essential skills like teamwork, leadership, and resilience.

“At Baker Tilly, we believe in investing in the future—whether that’s in business, our people, or our communities. Sport plays a vital role in building confidence, leadership, and teamwork skills, all of which are essential for success in life and in business. We’re proud to support KidSport Alberta and help ensure that every child has the opportunity to play,” said Kelly Fowler, Partner at Baker Tilly in Edmonton.

Throughout the year, our teams will be actively involved in KidSport events, volunteering their time and resources to support local initiatives. Our commitment to Alberta goes beyond business—it’s about empowering people, fostering growth, and building stronger communities where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

"KidSport envisions an Alberta in which ALL kids have a chance to play, regardless of their financial situation," says Kelly Oehlerking, Executive Director at KidSport Alberta. "We could not strive to achieve this goal without the support of our partners, and we are thrilled to welcome Baker Tilly to our team! Baker Tilly understands the value of sport participation for kids, and they are committed to making a difference in the communities where they live, work and play. We are so grateful that Baker Tilly shares our vision, and have joined us to help make it So ALL Kids Can Play!"
