Boys and Girls Club of Truro and Colchester

Just a reminder that the Club is closed for Thanksgiving. Wishing everyone a great long weekend! Just another reminder that the weather is changing and children should come dressed in warm clothes.

We have some reusable masks that were donated! Anyone interested or who needs more masks please send an email to [email protected]

Inside activities this week!

Loving Fall and the warm weather.

Imagine having your children removed from your home and sent away. Imagine being a child and being forced out of of your home and sent to a "school" where you had to forget everything about yourself, your family, your culture, even your clothes. Imagine never returning from that school. Imagine not knowing where your child was and never seeing them again.... We must remember, we must reflect, we must do better.

The Club will not be open for the Inservice Day on September 25th due to lack of registration.

Since parents are unable to come inside, we wanted to share what the inside looks like now. Rooms have been cleared to support physical distancing. Each group has their own group name-ask your child which group they belong to.... And just a reminder that as you approach our back parking lot the speed limit is 10km and there is a stop sign on the corner of the building. We spend most of our time outside so please approach with caution.

In the event of a school closure tomorrow-Wednesday September 23rd, the Club will NOT be open. We will be sending out an email this week to see if there is enough interest to offer storm day services this year as at this point we are anticipating low registration.

The Club DOES NOT PICKUP children on early dismissal days. However we will open for programming at 12:30 pm. Parents or guardians can drop their children off at the Club at 12:30 pm. Please use back parking lot and maintain social distancing from others. We ask that all children be picked up no later than 5 pm today. In the event of a power outage at the club, parents will need to pick their children up within 1 hour.

In the event of a school closure tomorrow-Tuesday, September 22nd the Club will NOT be open for a storm day. Edit: in the event of a noon or early dismissal from school, we will announce on Facebook if we will open. Reminder that the Club does not offer pickup in the event of an early dismissal or noon dismissal from schools.

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather tomorrow. We do not have access to the inside of the schools like we once did and we must wait outside the school until the bus is able to pick up.

Parents have until Wednesday to register for this Friday's inservice day! We need a minimum number of registrants and if we do not meet that number we will be closed.

Reminder to parents: There is an in service day this coming Friday (September 25). Parents who would like to register can email [email protected]. We will be open from 8:00 am-5:30 pm. In service days are $25.00.

Flashback to warmer summer days when we were sailing our boats.
