Have wheels will travel! 🚲🚲 Our #BGCBestie @Danpurdue and the Level 12 Team completed a workshop with DP World, where they built eight brand new bikes for BGC teens. These bikes, and helmets to go with them, will make transportation easier for teens as they travel to and from school, Club, and jobs (in style!). #OpportunityChangesEverything #UnbelievableImpact

THROWBACK!! We had SO much fun spreading kindness and celebrating Pink Shirt Day in February with our #BGCBesties at @cknwkidsfund and @londondrugs. Combating bullying also means spreading kindness where we work, go to school, and in our communities so that we can create safe spaces where EVERYONE feels like they belong. It may seem simple, but a little kindness can have a BIG impact.
At our Clubs, we see the amazing things that happen when we work hard to cultivate these spaces. Kids and youth develop positive relationships that are good for them, they gain confidence, make friends, and they learn that there is no room for bullying in their worlds. We think that’s worth celebrating EVERY day! #PinkShirtDay #OpportunityChangesEverything #LetKindnessGrow

We are SO proud to announce that our very own President & CEO, Carolyn Tuckwell, has been honoured with the prestigious King Charles III Coronation Medal for her significant contributions to the community and the profound and positive impact on children, youth, and families through her leadership at BGC South Coast BC (BGC).
Carolyn’s leadership was pivotal in the establishment of the Recreational Care Category under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act, Child Care Licensing Regulation, one of the most significant social policy advancements for children and youth in decades. This achievement protected BGC’s long-standing drop-in service model, ensuring that thousands of children and youth continue to have access to flexible, self-directed, and no-barrier programs during the critical after-school hours. Her collaborative, strategic approach with government stakeholders led to a policy shift that recognized the unique and essential role of social recreation programming. #UnbelievableImpact #OpportunityChangesEverything @BGCCan

BIG thanks to our #BGCBesties at @canucksforkids, who have generously supported our Club hockey programs for many years. Because of their generosity, countless kids have benefited from all the physical, social, and emotional benefits that sports has to offer—having fun while experiencing new opportunities, overcoming barriers, building positive relationships, and developing confidence and skills for life! #OpportunityChangesEverything #UnbelieveableImpact

BGC’s Camp Potlatch is all about building a sense of community, self-confidence, and resiliency in each and every one of our campers. While kids and youth are learning to kayak in the ocean, trying their hand at archery, and sleeping under the stars, what they are really doing is working towards vital outcomes that will stick with them beyond their week at Camp Potlatch. The results are pretty amazing!
Thanks so a super generous friend of BGC, gifts made right now will be DOUBLED! That means we can send MORE kids to camp and have even more impact on the lives of kids and youth! Visit bgcbc.ca to learn more. 💚

Each summer, thousands of Campers make their way (by boat!) to Camp Potlatch for an unforgettable wilderness adventure – BGC style.
Camp Potlatch offers traditional camp activities (think sea kayaking, hiking, rock climbing and SO much more), but we know that what really makes Camp so special is the lifelong relationships that campers form with staff and each other. But here’s a secret – that isn’t by accident.
When kids come to camp, they have the chance to step out of their comfort zones and work together to overcome challenges. Most importantly though, they become a part of long-standing traditions and feel that unmistakable BGC sense of belonging.
Help us make this the BEST. SUMMER. EVER. for amazing kids and youth! Visit bgcbc.ca to donate.
