Zip Zap has been instrumental in making a positive impact on the lives of young people in our province for many years. Through offering youth the opportunity to be part of the exciting world of the circus arts, they not only offer our young people hope, but they also make a positive impact on our economy through creating jobs and bringing in audiences to watch these performances.
