About BGC Ottawa

BGC Ottawa provides children and youth with a safe place between the realities of home life and the pressures of school — a place of positivity and belonging where they can play, create and learn what it takes to become their best selves.

We aim to be Ottawa's leading champion of children and youth; corporations, communities and families will look to us first to understand what children and youth need to thrive today and in the future.
