Every child deserves a place where they feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow. 💛

As Coach Bashiru shares, many of the youth who come through our doors are navigating challenges outside of their control. That’s why WKF is committed to creating more than just a fitness facility. We want to create a space where young people can build confidence, develop new skills, and discover what they’re capable of.

Our vision for Coquitlam includes a dedicated classroom, kitchen, and barbershop. We also hope to add a music studio so young people with creative passions have a place to express themselves and grow alongside their peers.

These upgrades are about creating more opportunities for every child, whether they connect through sport, academics, or artistic projects.

Over the coming year, we’ll be raising funds to help bring this vision to life. Together, we can build a space that will serve the Coquitlam community and generations of youth for years to come. 💛

What makes WKF different?

As Coach Bash shares, we’re more than a gym.

We’re a place where young people can discover new passions, build confidence, develop leadership skills, and be surrounded by mentors who genuinely care about their future.

Whether it’s fitness, music, art, or simply having a safe place to belong, our goal is to remove barriers and create opportunities that help every young person thrive.

That’s the vision we’re bringing to our Coquitlam location.

With your support, we’re transforming the space into a true community hub where even more youth can learn, create, connect, and grow.

Together, we’re building more than a facility. We’re building futures. 💛

When young people feel like they belong, everything begins to change. 🌳

Teacher Jill Maynard has seen firsthand the impact WKF has had on her students. By giving them a safe place where they feel supported, valued, and connected, they began to take more pride in themselves and in the way they treated others.

The relationships they built with our coaches and mentors gave them something many had been missing.. positive role models who believed in them. That sense of belonging helped them become more responsible, more confident, and more successful both inside and outside the program.

At WKF, we’re not just creating opportunities for youth to stay active. We’re helping them build the character, confidence, and life skills they need to thrive in their communities.

Reality isn’t easy. Every young person carries their own challenges, and sometimes they just need a healthy outlet. A place to move, breathe, and feel like themselves again.

That’s why physical literacy is such an important part of what we do at WKF. Through running, games, and movement, youth aren’t just becoming faster or stronger. They’re building resilience, confidence, discipline, and the belief that they can overcome life’s challenges one step at a time.

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to be active, discover what they’re capable of, and grow into a healthy, confident, and resilient young person. That’s what we strive to create every day. ❤️

A vision for what’s next in Coquitlam 🥹

Our goal is to create a haven for youth in the community. A place where youth can move, create, learn, connect, and grow into the best version of themselves.

Our other facilities already include spaces like barbershops, music studios, classrooms, kitchens, and more. Now, we want to bring that same vision to Coquitlam and create something that can serve young people in this community for years to come.

Over the next year, our goal is to raise $50,000 to help make these facility upgrades possible. This summer, we’ll be launching a 50/50 raffle along with other fundraising initiatives to help bring this vision to life.

Ready for summer! 🌻

We have so many exciting adventures planned for our youth this summer and we’re incredibly grateful to share that our programs are already at capacity.

At the same time, there are still many more young people in our communities who could benefit from safe, active, and supportive summer experiences.

If you would like to help us create more opportunities for youth this summer, please consider supporting the WKF with a donation at www.thewkf.ca 💛

Grateful for another month of growth, community, and unforgettable moments 💙

From students at Maillard Middle School taking on outdoor rock climbing, to celebrating Lois, our amazing head administrator, and all the moments in between, it’s been a month full of energy and connection.

“Kids don’t even play outside anymore…”

That is exactly why programs like our WKF After School IMPACT initiative matter so much. Instead of spending every afternoon on phones or stuck indoors, youth are getting outside, staying active, building friendships, and learning through play.

Research shows Canadian youth spend an average of over 7 hours per day on screens recreationally, far above recommended limits. That is why creating healthy alternatives is more important than ever.

Huge thank you as always to for helping make these opportunities possible. Because when kids have a safe place to move, connect, and belong after school, everyone wins. 💛
