The Official Page of BGC Hamilton-Halton (Boys & Girls Clubs of Hamilton). This page will be maintained and updated by the Staff of BGC Hamilton-Halton and will keep all members posted on upcoming events and events from the past. More than seventy-five years ago, dedicated and visionary members of the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton East recognized the need for quality programs and recreational opportunities for children and youth and opened Hamilton's very first Boys and Girls Club in the northeast end of the city. BGC Hamilton-Halton now draws more than 4,000 children and youth from across the city and operates in multiple locations to better meet the needs of families in diverse neighbourhoods. In addition to the BGC Hamilton-Halton on Ellis Avenue, services are provided through multiple neighbourhood sites, which include EarlyON Centres, Sanford Club and Roxanne Club. Before and after school programs, child care, and our Let's Get Moving after school program are offered in various sites and elementary schools in Hamilton.

Across BGC Hamilton-Halton, our staff and members took time to learn, reflect and connect through meaningful, age-appropriate activities and conversations about Truth and Reconciliation, Orange Shirt Day, and Indigenous cultures and traditions.

At the Sanford EarlyON Centre, families came together during circle time to read Phyllis’s Orange Shirt and talk about the importance of remembering and honouring Indigenous children and families. Children and families also worked together on a collaborative mural featuring Indigenous-inspired symbols and the message “Every Child Matters.” 🧡

Through stories, art, cooking and conversation, families explored learning and reflection together. Other BGC programs also participated in activities that created opportunities to learn about Indigenous culture, listen, ask questions and build understanding.

We’re grateful to our staff, children, families and program participants for approaching these activities with curiosity, respect and care.
