To support BGC for Pink Shirt Day, our #BGCBesties at Arete Safety and Protection Inc provided their anti-bullying training to all 11 of our Clubs!
Safety with Sam is an online training program created by youth for youth with the goal of helping youth to speak out, find their voices, and create safer spaces. This training was given to BGC’s amazing pre-teens and teens as a specialized workshop during Pink Shirt Week.
We are so grateful for this support, and to have programs like Safety with Sam to help prevent bullying in our communities and our Clubs.
Today we are flashing back to our Youth of the Year celebration at our very own Kimount Club! Youth of the Year is BGC Canada’s national initiative to recognize and celebrate exceptional youth who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, service, and achievements within their communities. In 2023, our Kimount Club was home to TWO Youths who received this title. Now that’s something to be proud of! #OpportunityChangesEverything @BGCCan
This international Women’s Day, we are celebrating the achievements of women, raising awareness about discrimination, and taking action to drive gender equality. We are so proud of the incredible women in our own organization who work each day to inspire youth to achieve their dreams and see their own amazingness. ❤ #InspireInclusion #UnbelievableImpact
Thank you SO MUCH to the amazing teams at Shack Shine for volunteering their time to help us with some exterior spring cleaning at several of our Clubs including Langley, North Burnaby, and Norvan! #SpringCleaning #BGCBesties #UnbelievableImpact
