Important message for all Summerland Club families.

Due to the ongoing wildfire situation and its impact on our communities, our Summerland and Peachland Clubs will be closed for the entire week of Monday, August 10 through Friday, August 14.

All programming (with the exception of the Peachland Recreation program), services, and activities at both locations are cancelled during this time.

Our hearts are with everyone affected. We know that families, staff members, friends, and neighbours have been displaced, and we recognize how frightening and uncertain this time is.

We will continue to monitor conditions and guidance from local emergency officials. Any further operational updates will be shared by email and posted on our website and social media channels.

To everyone impacted: please know your Club community is thinking of you and standing with you. Stay safe and take care of one another. ❤️ https://www.bgco.ca/wildfire-info/
