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.

IT’S PINK SHIRT DAY!
For 17 years, BGC has proudly partnered with @CKNWkidsfund to champion Pink Shirt Day, and to support all the work that goes into combatting bullying. And, over this time we’ve seen some pretty amazing progress. We’ve seen legislation enacted against bullying, workplace policies that prohibit it, and a shift in attitude against bullying – especially in kids.
But 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.
Every day 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.
Join us in spreading a little kindness today, we promise it will go a long way!
Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day and across our Clubs, we’ve been getting into the kindness spirit! We can’t wait to celebrate in our pink shirts, and stand up against bullying! 🩷 @BGCCan
