Ponoka Civic Centre Will Light Up in Green to Celebrate BGC Club Day

The Town of Ponoka is lighting up the Ponoka Civic Centre with green lights on Friday, June 7 to celebrate BGC (Boys and Girls Club) Club Day.

BGC Clubs throughout the country offer programs and services to assist children and youth, including after-school and out-of-school programs. BGC Wolf Creek at the Ponoka Youth Centre has been providing safe, supportive spaces in Ponoka and other local communities since 2001. In 2023, the Ponoka Youth Centre hosted 681 children and youth in the 14 programs offered in Ponoka.

Green lights will be projected onto the Ponoka Civic Centre from sunset until sunrise on June 7 to show support for BGC Wolf Creek.

“BGC Wolf Creek Ponoka makes a difference in the lives of our local families. Their programs provide opportunities to build skills and confidence in the children and youth in our town,” said Ponoka Mayor Kevin Ferguson.

He added, “We are happy to recognize the organization, celebrate its team of staff and volunteers, and honour the families, children and youth of BGC Wolf Creek Ponoka. Thanks for being part of our community.”
