BGC (Boys and Girls Club) Cape Breton

In Canada, Boys and Girls Clubs' proud heritage of service to youth began in Saint John, New Brunswick. In 1900, a group of concerned local citizens set up a "public playground movement" to provide a safe place to play for children—particularly boys from disadvantaged circumstances with no place to go after school. The "Everyday Club," originally established as a winter location for the Playground Association, later became known as the East End Boys’ Club and later The East End Boys Club of Saint John—the first “Boys Club” in Canada.
