COVID-19
BGCA continues to follow the reccomendations of our Provincial Health Officer and other regulatory bodies. As this is an evolving situation we will post additional updates on our programs and services below.
Update - Friday, March 20
Currently, BGCA is only operating essential social services and child care programs. We ask that community members refrain from visiting the Centre without an appointment.
Please call us at 250-388-5251 if you are in need of service and/or support from one of our outreach team (housing, family or youth outreach) or if you are in need of resources for your family to manage during these difficult times. We will assist you as best we can while maintaining safe distances.
We will continue to provide updates on our hours and availability as we are able and as new information emerges.
Take care and we wish you wellness.
