BGC Canada

BGC Canada (Formerly known as Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada) is a national, nonprofit organization that supports local BGC Clubs with programs for physical activity, healthy living, learning, job training, leadership, and creative expression.

With locations in small towns and large cities, as well as rural and Indigenous communities, BGC Clubs provide services to young people during critical out-of-school hours.

In 1929, the Boys’ Club Federation of Canada was officially established by Vernon McAdam, the first National Executive Director.

In 2018, BGC Canada offered 26 national programs, facilitated $182,270 in scholarships, and allocated $6.2 million in grants to Clubs.
