The Boys and Girls Club (BGC) of Canada could be providing services in the tri-communities sometime in the future.
BGC Battlefords executive director Nicole Combres was invited to speak at La Ronge’s Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday to discuss the services the group offers. She was asked to make a presentation by administrator Steven Brown after Brown was told there might be an interest or need in the community for programming that BGC offers.
“I’m not really sure yet where this will go or what the partnership or relationship will look like,” Combres said. “The next step for the plan is I will probably travel to La Ronge and meet with community members and leaders and take a look at what the community needs are, what the wants are, and what there’s an appetite for.”
There are BGC’s located across Canada and the club serves more than 200,000 children and teens annually. In North Battleford, BGC provides services for approximately 500 kids with programs before and after school and during the summer. There’s also nutrition and drop-in programs, as well as special offerings like hockey, soccer, and music lessons.
