BGC Peel Update

Peel Lockdown 2.0

 

(November 23, 2020 Region of Peel) As the Region of Peel enters into a 28 Day Lockdown, your BGC Peel is committed to continuing our Virtual Program for children, youth and families.

Our 2020 Holiday Hamper is well underway, following Peel Health guidelines. We are still in the position of accepting donations in way of gift cards or financial contributions via our website donation page at www.bgcpeel.org while working with local partners and agencies to secure safe food distribution for our families.

 

For more information on our virtual programs please go to our website to connect with the Program Leads.

For up to date information on what is happening with your BGC Peel, please follow us on all social media platforms; Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

We, like all of you, understand that these are trying and uncertain times. Let’s work together so that we can emerge from this lockdown better than when we entered and shine some hope on a return to physical programming soon than later in 2021.
