The mission of all Boys and Girls Clubs in Canada is to provide a safe, supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life.

OBS

Boys' Clubs of Canada, the national body representing more than 30 member Clubs at the time, was established in 1929 by Vernon McAdam, the first National Executive Director. In 1948, it received its official charter as a national, nonprofit organization from Parliament. In 1974, the name changed to "Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada" to reflect the growing number of young girls who had been participating in Club programs for many years.
