BGC is a GREAT place to be!

Our Amazing Kids, Our Stories, What's HappeningBy kboeNovember 4, 2024

At BGC, we know that every kid is amazing. Not just that they would be or could be if their circumstances were different. When we talk about the work that we do, we believe strongly in focusing on ALL of the great things that happen for kids and youth in our Clubs. Instead of labelling…

These youth shine so bright, they don’t even need a spotlight…

Our Amazing Kids, Our Stories, What's HappeningBy kboeAugust 12, 2024

…But we couldn’t help but give them one! Did you know that August 12th is International Youth Day? At BGC, we know that youth can do AMAZING things at Club, at school, and in their communities.

Celebrating PRIDE with BGC Pride Shirts!

A message from Carolyn, Our Amazing Kids, Our StoriesBy MandyJune 23, 2023

BGC welcomes all to join us in honouring Pride! We’re very proud to once again share the design by a BGC friend and local artist. This year we have included their updated interpretation of the Progress Pride Flag, originally created in 2018 by Daniel Quasar to represent Inclusivity, Progression, and Visibility. The Progress Pride Flag acknowledges…

Big thanks to ALL of you for celebrating ALL things Club with us on BGC Club Day June 2nd! For more than 80 years, our Clubs have given kids and youth a safe place to belong.

BGC Club Day is worth celebrating!!! 💚

A message from Carolyn, Our Amazing Kids, Our StoriesBy MandyJune 2, 2023

Today is BGC Club Day (yes, that’s right – we have our very own day!), and we are so excited to celebrate what BGC is all about – relationships! That kids develop relationships at BGC that last a lifetime isn’t an accident. By being a part of their Club, they develop the skills they need to have healthy,…

Is it TOO soon to be thinking about summer vacation?

A message from Carolyn, Our Amazing Kids, Our StoriesBy MandyApril 27, 2023

As “grown-ups” we know the answer to that question is NO! Not only are summer vacations great to look forward to, they also take planning. So, you won’t be surprised to hear that at BGC we’re well on our way with planning for our 2023 Camp Potlatch season! What makes us extra happy is that we had…

Happy Pink Shirt Day 💗

A message from Carolyn, Our Amazing Kids, Our StoriesBy MandyFebruary 22, 2023

Since 2008, BGC has been partnering with CKNW Kids Fund and the community to support Pink Shirt Day and ALLLLL efforts to put an end to bullying. Over those years, we’ve seen the general reaction to the topic of bullying go from “It’s a rite of passage, and there’s nothing you can do about it!” to a collective call…

91% of our kids say…

A message from Carolyn, Our Amazing Kids, Our StoriesBy MandyDecember 14, 2022

That they are more confident about their futures because of BGC! That’s a BIG statement, and you might wonder how that could be. Well, at BGC South Coast BC, we believe that every kid is amazing – not just that they would be if they had other opportunities or if their circumstances were different, but just as…

2022: A Year of Unbelievable Impact

A message from Carolyn, Our Amazing Kids, Our StoriesBy MandyDecember 2, 2022

This is the time when I’m typically thinking about the end of the year, and all that brings with it, but honestly, this year feels a little different. To loosely quote one of my favourite people, the pandemic has had a PROFOUND impact. That impact has been personal, professional, organizational, societal, and global, and in a few weeks…

On BGC Club Day (yes, that’s right – we have our very own day!), we get to celebrate what BGC is all about – relationships! The trusted ones that develop between our staff and kids, the ones that kids develop with each other, and of course, the ones that we develop with people like you. That…
