BGC Club Day Proclamation - Friday, June 5, 2026

By virtue of the power vested in me

I Do Hereby Declare

June 5, 2026

as

BGC Club Day

in the City of Pembroke.

Whereas BGC Canada, formally known as the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada, is celebrating 126 years in operation, with BGC Renfrew County celebrating 61 years, through community-based services supporting Canadian youth; and

Whereas BGC Clubs serve young people and their families during critical out-of-school hours in small and large cities, to support our youth in realizing positive outcomes in self-expression, academics, healthy living, physical activity, job readiness, mental health, leadership and more; and

Whereas BGC Clubs welcomes all, regardless of their circumstances, with a mission of providing safe, supportive places where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positives relationships, and develop confidence and skills for life; and

Whereas BGC Club Day is a celebration organized to offer residents an opportunity to share details on the programs offered to the children and youth in our community.

Therefore, be it resolved that I, Ron Gervais, Mayor of the City of Pembroke, do hereby proclaim June 5, 2026, as “BGC Club Day” in the City of Pembroke.

Dated in the Mayor’s Office this 2nd day of June 2026
