Snacks for Jacks Fundraiser

As one of the leading providers of child and youth services in Greater Victoria, our Clubs see firsthand how profoundly and disproportionately food insecurity impacts kids. 1 in 3 children across Canada are living in food-insecure households. Young bodies need nutrients to thrive. Young people with full bellies can think better, perform better, learn better and make better decisions. Without food security, nothing else is possible.

Our Snacks for Jacks fundraising goal is $5000 by May 30, 2025 to help feed kids and youth in our programs for the rest of the year. Can you help? Your support can transform a life. Every dollar you give provides children and youth with food they need to help us nourish young minds. Every donation over $20 is eligible for a tax receipt!

Sarah Beckett Memorial Run May 11, 2025

The Sarah Beckett Memorial Run is a 5km and 3km family run and walk which raises money for local non-profit organizations in the Western Communities in southern Vancouver Island. This event takes place locally in Langford BC and a virtual event is also available for those who are unable to attend the local run/walk.

This event is in memory of Cst Sarah Beckett, a Police Officer from the West Shore RCMP Detachment, who was killed in the line of duty on April 5, 2016.

Proceeds from the run support vulnerable youth in our community. Click here to register and join us May 11, 2025!

Gender expression is a human right.

BGCSVI stands with all trans, Two-Spirit and non-binary children and youth.

Gender expression is a human right. We believe in identity-affirming environments where everyone experiences a sense of belonging.

BGC Clubs are safe spaces where all children and youth are welcome.

We are excited to be a part of TVI!

The Village Initiative is a network of over 60 organizations working together to better support the health and wellbeing of children, youth and families across the fast-growing West Shore-Sooke region.

By working as a team, The Village is busting barriers to make it easier for children, youth and families to access the services and supports they need, when they need them.

Host Fundraising Event

Host a fundraising event with BGC South Vancouver Island today, and let us help you make a difference.

Get Started

It’s official. Boys & Girls Club of Greater Victoria has become BGC South Vancouver Island. Not to be trendy. Not because it’s catchier. But because we believe our name should reflect who, what and where we do our work! Clubs across our country open their doors to all children, youth and families and we believe our name should reflect that. We are located in communities that feel more connected to South Vancouver Island than Greater Victoria, so we wanted our name to be aligned with the communities we serve.

Removing gender from our name modernizes the BGC brand and echoes the inclusive practices we’re known for, without straying too far from our history and brand awareness. It also embraces the fact that we serve young people of all ages, backgrounds, and identities.

New brand, same legacy: 65 years of creating opportunities for thousands of kids, teens, young adults and parents across South Vancouver Island.

LIFE-CHANGING PROGRAMS & RELATIONSHIPS

Belonging to a BGC Club is often a life-changing experience. Children can build healthy, supportive relationships with caring adult role models, which in turn can positively influence the life path they choose. Clubs also encourage healthy, respectful relationships with peers and family members.

Thank you!

We are very grateful to the donors and supporters who have contributed to BGC South Vancouver Island.
