BGC Niagara Holiday Toy Drive
Help give children and youth a holiday filled with warmth, friendship and memories.
A traditional holiday celebration is about sharing a meal, laughing with friends and feeling a sense of belonging. Through BGC Niagara’s annual Holiday Toy Drive, you can help create that experience for children and youth across Niagara.
Your generosity brings our Children’s Holiday Celebration to life. Children will gather at each of our three main BGC Clubs for a warm, cooked turkey dinner, enjoy fun with friends and choose a gift to take home. They’ll leave with a full belly, a special gift and happy memories to carry with them.
Every donation helps make this celebration possible.

CLOsure2025: Making Herstory
On June 20, 2025, a dedicated team of women became the first all female crew to cross Lake Ontario in a dragonboat, making history and developing strong lifelong friendships. The crew of 31 was brought together from five different teams to tackle this adventure ranging in age from 48 to 78. Each person had to maintain their own personal training program and trust each other to make this happen.
Besides being an epic voyage, the crew raised over $33,000.00 for OFILD, Options for Independent Living and Development, a registered charity in Hamilton, Ontario which houses and provides support to adults with special needs.
Please join co-authors of CLOsure2025: Making Herstory, Jo-Anne Rogerson, Lynda Benison, Mary Cote and Vivian Medley as they describe their adventure and subsequent mission to inspire and empower other women to follow their dreams and overcome their fears to find their “moment in time”.
