50/50 Bonanza Notice

The safety of our staff and members of the community is our top priority and feel this is a necessary step to protect everyone from the spread of COVID-19

draw after the suspension ends when it is deemed safe for our staff to collect the

Programming update: March 16, 2020

As of March 15, 2020 the provincial government closed all public schools until at least until April 6th and it will be reassessed at that time. All licensed childcare centres will also be closed until further notice.
.
At this time we will be suspending all programs at our Clubs. We believe this is a necessary and important step to support the health and safety of the children and youth who attend our Clubs
.
This closure is inclusive of:
.
March Break Camp
.
After School Programs
.
PD Day Camps
.
Kid Food Nation
.
YOUth Belong Here
.
Youth Nights (Montague)
.
Hoops for Youth

We will not be collecting weekly fees until our programs and services resume.
.
If you have any questions contact our Programs Director Callen Cudmore by email at programs@bgcharlottetown.com

Please see below for an important update regarding our Club and COVID-19
.
In response to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, and in consultation with our board of directors, Boys & Girls Club of Charlottetown has made the difficult decision to suspend all programs and services for March Break Camp and close our administrative office as of 5:00pm Saturday March 14.
.
We have been paying close attention to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we have been taking precautions based on the recommendations of federal and provincial governments, as well as our governing body Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada. We have also been carefully monitoring the actions taken by other childcare organizations in our community.
.
Although we understand that it may negatively impact our Club members, we believe that our decision will help ensure the health and safety of the children, youth and staff who attend our Club. We will continue to offer families any support that we can by email or phone.
.
If you or a member of your family is experiencing any symptoms related to COVID-19 (fever, cough, or difficulty breathing), please immediately contact your family doctor or contact our local public health authority by dialing 811.
.
There will be no fees collected for the week of March 16-20. If you have already paid your fee for March Break please contact Callen at programs@bgcharlottetown.com to discuss a refund or applying the payment as a credit on your account.
.
We will continue to pay close attention to the situation and monitor recommendations from the Chief Public Health Office. Parents/Guardians will be updated later in the week regarding how long the Club will be closed. We will be providing updates about this ongoing situation via email and our social media.
.
The health and safety of our members, staff and families is our highest priority and we believe this is the best course of action for our Club to help protect our community. We apologize for the inconvenience we know this causes for many who rely on our programs and we appreciate your understanding in this difficult time.
.
If you have any questions or concerns, Callen Cudmore, Programs Director can be reached at programs@bgchar

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Health

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Health & Wellness and we are always looking for creative and unique ways to encourage physical activity, healthy eating and mental health.
.
Our @ctjumpstart Yoga for Youth Program introduced our members to a different kind of physical activity.
.
Many eagerly participated in this program each week with several kids trying it out for the first time!
.
This program was an excellent opportunity each week to stretch the body and slow the mind. .
We even got to visit a real yoga studio, our neighbours @stride.pei The experience was super memorable for those who had become practiced yogis over the course of the Yoga for Youth Program
.
Thank you to @ctjumpstart for making this program possible, our staff Maria for facilitating the amazing yoga sessions and to Mel at @stride.pei for hosting us at the studio for two incredible classes!

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Education and Skills Enrichment. We often talk about this in terms of our Literacy and curriculum based programs but ESE goes beyond these traditional ways of learning and development.
.
A few years ago we developed a partnership with Geneva Villa, a local Seniors Home just a short walk from our Clubhouse.
.
We have visited the home on several occasions. Made cards for the residents on Holidays and even gone caroling to the home at Christmas.
.
This year, our older group started visiting the home twice a month. They take a box of games, cards, and crafts to do with the residents.
.
The visits are helping our members develop conversation skills, increasing their confidence in their abilities, and giving them an opportunity for intergenerational learning.
.
The visits also give the residents some important social time.
.
Thank you to Geneva Villa for this valuable partnership!
