The Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa (BGCO) is a registered charity that provides 4,500 children and youth in seven at-risk neighbourhoods across the city with a safe space during the most vulnerable hours of the day, and FREE access to life-changing programs in four key programming pillars that are purposefully designed to drive personal development.
Proceeds from this event help support the the BGCO Walk This Way program, under the pillar Physical Activity & Healthy Lifestyle, which takes Members on treks through the city, the country and surrounding points of interest. From walks through the Gatineau Park, Hog's Back Park and downtown, Members get to keep fit and play tourists in their own city. What better way to explore your community than on foot?
