A successful March break programme for inner-city kids is expanding its intake this year giving more children from some of Ottawa's poorest families the chance to enjoy a safe and fun-filled holiday they couldn't normally afford.

Thanks to a new partnership with the Ottawa-based Muslim charity Human Concern International, York Street ULTIMATE will be accepting 35 kids ”“ up from 20 children last year ”“ into its high quality children's day camp in the Lowertown area during March break.
