About Us

A World of Opportunities Starts Here

Our vision is that all children and youth discover and achieve their dreams and grow up to be healthy, successful and active participants in society.

To provide a safe, supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life. Clubs across Canada have a positive life changing impact on children and youth. Using a common model will enable us to increase the quality and value of our programs across Canada and have the evidence to demonstrate this impact. BGC St. Anthony and Area provides a safe space for the youth in our community to be themselves, do fun activities, and engage with others in a fun and meaningful way.

***Fire Update*** BGC St. Anthony & Area Club building destroyed by fire

January 17, 2025

BGC St. Anthony & Area Club staff and Board of Directors are shocked and devastated by the loss of our building at 272 West St, St. Anthony.

On the evening of Wednesday, January 15, a fire broke out and the building was quickly engulfed. No one was injured, no children or youth were present. The Club is cooperating with fire investigators to determine the cause.

There will be no services or programs running the week of January 20 and we will share update once we are ready to restart our programs.

We are working quickly to determine the next steps and will update families as we know more.

BGC St. Anthony has proudly served the community for 24 years and support more than 5,000 young people. Rebuilding for our next chapter of the organization will take time and community support.

Any inquiries can be directed to Carmella Rose, BGC/CYB Executive Director. bgcstanthony@gmail.com or (709) 454-1313.
