Testimonials

We are grateful for what BGC Ottawa delivers to our community, by taking care of youth in neighbourhoods that need it the most, providing them with a safe place to make friends, learn and allow them to simply be kids. When you walk into the Club, you feel the positive energy that wraps around you and makes you want to smile. This is a credit to the hard-working staff and volunteers. The Mark Motors Group is proud to support BGCO.

Organizations like BGC Ottawa play such an important role in supporting children and youth in our community. They provide opportunities and resources so they can develop skills, confidence and resilience to help them thrive in the future. This benefits all of us by making our communities healthier and stronger, too.  At RBC, we believe that when we invest in our youth, great things happen.

CHEZ 106, in partnership with the Ottawa Police Association, has been supporting the important work being done by the BGC Ottawa team for years with DEEDS. In 2021, we donated thousands of dollars in new sports equipment to the Don McGahan Clubhouse, in 2022 the SOLD-OUT Biggs and Barr Mini Masters was a fundraiser for BGC Ottawa, and last September we helped ensure kids started the school year with fresh produce. Three Clubhouses in Ottawa received a delivery of more than $5,000 in fresh produce locally grown.

To be able to help even more kids in Ottawa, this past winter Rogers Radio and The Snowsuit Fund partnered with BGC Ottawa for the 50/50 For the City. Knowing the importance of these two local charities, our radio listeners purchased more than $900,000 in tickets over 45 days.

Together, we can create a bright future for Ottawa kids. We are proud to do our little part to ensure BGC Ottawa can continue supporting our community.
