What a Spectacular Splash of Christmas Magic and Summer Fun!
On Saturday, June 13, 2026, the community gathered at The Bears Den for our annual fundraiser, Jingle in June, and we are still riding the wave of excitement! Because of your incredible generosity, BGC Fort Saskatchewan can continue to provide safe, supportive spaces where local children and youth can experience new opportunities, build positive relationships, and develop vital confidence and life skills.
This event raises critical funds for our diverse programming—including full-day Kinder programs, Out-of-School care, youth drop-ins, and summer adventure camps. Thanks to you, no child is ever turned away due to financial instability.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who made this magical evening possible!
A Special Green Shout-Out!
A massive, festive thank-you to our special guest, The Grinch (DaGrinch), for taking a break from his summer vacation to bring mischief, smiles, and extra holiday cheer to our guests! Thank you also for your generous live auction donation of a 1-hour visit and photo session.
