With this initiative, WRKC aims to provide a thrilling and safe platform for children to dive into the world of karting. The kid kart sessions are for practice only and will not be scored. 

At WRKC, we believe that fostering a love for racing from an early age not only cultivates valuable skills such as discipline, focus, and sportsmanship but also creates lifelong memories and friendships. Our Kid Kart program is tailored to introduce children aged 5 and 6 to the fundamentals of karting in a supportive and nurturing environment. 

The fun doesn’t end on the track! In addition to honing their racing skills, participants in the Kid Kart program will have the opportunity to bond with fellow racers, build confidence, and develop a sense of camaraderie that extends beyond the racecourse. At WRKC, we understand the importance of creating a supportive community where young drivers can thrive and grow, both on and off the track. 

As we embark on this exciting new journey, WRKC invites families from across the region to join us in igniting the spark of passion for motorsports in the next generation of racers. Whether your child dreams of becoming the next Formula 1 champion or simply wants to experience the thrill of racing, our Kid Kart program promises an unforgetable adventure filled with excitement, learning, and endless possibilities.

Race Day Sponsor

The Charbonneau’s (Ben, Trish, Jilly and Bow) have been using Invisible Fence personally since 2013. In 2020 they purchased the dealership formerly named Invisible Fence by KW Sprinkler. They plan to carry on the same traditions from the former company and provide outstanding customer service. Ben is a licensed Automotive Service Technician with Inter-provincial status and manages all service and installation requests. Trish holds a degree in Business Administrative accounting, and is passionate about helping with any Perfect Start Plus training needs.

At Invisible Fence® Brand, it is our mission to keep dogs and cats safely contained at home. Invisible Fence is the only dog fence that offers:

45+ Years Experience
Professional Installation
Certified Trainers
Nationwide Footprint
Local Support

Here are some things that make Invisible Fence different than other electric dog fence companies and pet containment options.

More affordable than a traditional fence.

Materials such as wood, vinyl, and chain link are expensive, especially when you start calculating the cost to fence in larger properties. On average, it is 45% – 80% more cost-effective to fence in a quarter acre with an Invisible Fence Brand system than with a traditional dog fence.

Custom solutions for your pet.

No two quotes are the same since we personalize everything for your home and pet. Regardless if you have 50 cats, 1 dog or a multi-pet household. Regardless if your pets have access to the whole yard or only certain areas of the house. With a wide range of containment and avoidance products, our technicians will find the Invisible Fence solution that’s right for you

Exclusive Boundary Plus Technology

Available only through Invisible Fence, Boundary Plus is the only dog fence that provides up to 30% more yard space and prevents pets from being locked out of their yard.

Animal-Behaviourist Approved Training.

Unlike DIY dog fences and other underground fences, our certified trainers teach your pet their new boundaries at their own pace. This way, your dog is confident in their yard and you are confident in their safety!

Money-Back Performance Guarantee

We offer a Money-Back Performance Guarantee on all of our Invisible Fence systems as well as a minimum one-year equipment warranty – so not only is your pet secure, so is your investment.

For more information contact Invisible fence at (519) 742-3070
