The Boys and Girls Club of London (BGC London) has been given $20,000 from Canada Life and Oak View Group.

The money was given to the group to continue supporting youth in the community, offering kids safe, enriching, and transformative programming.

Staff, community leaders, and Canadian Olympic Gold Medalist Damian Warner were there for the presentation.

“Growing up in London, I actually learned how to play basketball at BGC London and that passion for sport kicked off a lifelong journey,” said Warner.

“But I also learned the value of community, which has been equally important. Enjoying the decathlon-inspired activities and connecting with the kids was really special. I want every camper at BGC London to know that by working hard, believing in yourself, and engaging in the community, you can go further than you ever imagined.”

The donation marked the first of BGC London’s 70th anniversary campaign.

“At Canada Life, we believe every child and youth deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and excel,” said Fabrice Morin, president and COO of Canada Life.

“This gift reflects our commitment to help young people reach their full potential and build a future full of promise.”
