Our National Team serves BGC Clubs across the country in the following key areas:
- Strengthening Club experiences with essential national programming
- Increasing access to critical funding
- Guiding the BGC movement
- Enhancing the national BGC brand
- Advocating for children and youth
Through the national office in Toronto, and three regional directors across Canada, BGC Canada provides Clubs with programs, communications, resource development, and increases both staff and volunteer capacity with leadership development and hosting national forums for collaboration. BGC Canada is proud to serve as a fully bilingual organization, with a dedicated Quebec regional team and ability to offer all programs and resources in both French and English.
BGC Canada equips Clubs with critical funding through a national grant system, which guarantees that program execution is well supported and we can effectively track and measure results. Reporting information from Clubs helps BGC Canada understand the changing needs of communities across the country, providing a premise for advocacy work nationally and regionally and ensuring national programs remain effective and cutting-edge.
