Flashback to Our Summer Camp Memories! ☀️

BGC Preston had an incredible summer in 2026! Take a look back at some of the fun activities and memorable field trips our members enjoyed as we wrapped up the summer!

Our members had a great time at Queensland Beach, enjoying the waves, building sandcastles, and spending time in the sunshine. 🏖️ We kept the fun going with our end-of-summer trip to Victoria Park, where members enjoyed the pool, explored the nature trails, and shared a delicious lunch together with community. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who helped make our summer such a success! We look forward to another summer filled with even more great memories. 🙌

✨ 7 WEEKS TO GO ✨
As we count down to the BGC Preston 30th Anniversary Gala, we’re taking a moment to
honour our founding members and community builders — the people who believed our
youth deserved safe spaces, mentorship, and real opportunity.
For nearly 30 years, BGC Preston has been a place where young people can build confidence,
find belonging, and grow into leaders — and that legacy exists because community members
chose to show up, again and again.

Our first PD day of the 2026-2027 school year was a great success! 💚

Our BGC Preston members from both Bell Park and Humber Park locations met together for a day filled with games, icebreakers, outdoor activities, and plenty of time enjoying the beautiful weather. ☀️

We can't wait for the next PD day at Club!

🧡 Wednesday, September 30 2026 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Today, we honour Residential School Survivors, their families, and their communities, and recognize the lasting impacts of Canada’s residential school system. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is one of the many days out of the year to acknowledge the experiences of Residential School Survivors and the Indigenous Children who never returned home. Today is dedicated to acknowledging the intergenerational effects of residential schools, and support the ongoing work toward truth, healing, and reconciliation.

On September 30, we wear orange in solidarity, honour and remembrance of Residential School Survivors and their families.
