The North Burnaby Club was dedicated and officially opened by Lt. Governor, W.S. Owen, in the spring of 1975. The club is located on Howard Avenue, just south of Hastings Street. Equipped with a kitchen, an entertainment room for teens, arts and crafts room, a games area, and a large gymnasium, the club offers many alternatives to children living in the area and beyond.

 

 

We believe that children and youth need support, encouragement and direction. Our goal is to provide preventative and developmental services to children, youth and their families within the North Burnaby community. The North Burnaby Boys and Girls Club is a place for friendship, informal guidance and activities for children and youth. The Club encourages the physical, educational, character and skill development of each member through recreational and social activities.

 

Membership is $25 per year. No child is turned away because of their inability to pay. We value and actively promote diversity to reflect the cultures of our community in our programming, membership and staff. Our intent is ensure equal opportunities for all children, youth and adults, regardless of age, race, color, gender, creed, visibility, religious belief, sexual orientation or national origin.

 

 

Volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. There are over 1,200 individuals each year, who give of their time, skills and knowledge to help the clubs ensure that the needs of our young people are being met. We have many exciting and fulfilling volunteer opportunities, please visit volunteer positions available or contact our volunteer coordinator by phone at 604.879.6554 or email volunteer@bgc-gv.bc.ca.
