Exclusive images have been graciously supplied from world-renowned artist, Douglas R. Laird.

The Artist

Douglas was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1946. He immigrated to Canada in 1965. Doug became interested in art very early in life. By the age of fifteen, he apprenticed at an advertising agency / art studio in his hometown. During that time he also attended the Edinburgh College of Art where he studied life drawing and draped life extensively.
Douglas' travels throughout North America and Europe after his education have had a strong influence on the subject matter and medium now used in his paintings. He enjoys painting and feels comfortable in all mediums. His subjects include; landscape, nostalgia, still life, children and everyday activities.

Jumpstart - Giving Kids a Sporting Chance
Canadian Tire Jumpstart® is a community-based charitable program that helps kids in financial need participate in organized sport and recreation.
Jumpstart believes that all kids should have the opportunity to play. However, the reality is that 1 in 3 Canadian families cannot afford to enrol their children in sports and recreation activities (Vision Critical, 2011).
Canadian Tire Jumpstart was created to help provide kids in financial need with better access to the life benefits of community based organized sports and recreation. The charitable program covers registration, equipment and/or transportation costs.
Jumpstart facts:
  • Since its launch in February 2005, Jumpstart has helped give more than 417,835 kids in financial need the chance to play.
  • To date, we have more than 310 Chapters that work with over 1000 organizations across Canada (e.g. Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Parks and Recreation, YMCA-YWCAs) to discreetly identify children that would benefit from the program.
