We are getting active for United Way!

Our St. Alban's team (Kristen, Hayli, Bankeni, Debbie, Karen, Anna, Neil, Angelo and Ikram!) is taking the GetUP challenge for United Way—and we need your support!
From November 1-14, 2021, my team will be joining hundreds of other United Way supporters across the GTA in the GetUP challenge. As part of this brand-new virtual event, we will be completing 280 minutes of physical exercise to help people and families across the GTA who are experiencing poverty—and facing devastating challenges because of the pandemic.
By sponsoring our team—and funding the ongoing work of United Way’s network of 280 community agencies in Peel, Toronto and York Region—you’ll ensure hundreds of thousands of individuals can continue to access the support they need to survive and thrive.

Returning for the fifth year, Youth of the Year is BGC Canada’s national initiative to recognize and celebrate exceptional youth who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, service, and achievements within their communities. Youth of the Year encourages young people to become active role models and a voice for young people across Canada. This year, five youth receive post-secondary scholarships, laptops, prize packages, and development and media training. Ruben has been involved with BGC St. Alban’s Club (at our Weston Mount Dennis site) for 10 years as a Club member, volunteer, and Club staff. He describes his Club experience as transformative, helping him build life skills like adaptability, teamwork, self-confidence, and leadership. As a youth council member at his own Club, attending BGC Canada’s 2023 National Youth Forum was a memorable experience that shaped how he wants to show up for his community. Outside of the Club, Ruben is a leader in his school community, stays grounded in his values, and always finds ways to uplift others. Ruben is passionate about being a voice for young people who want to make an impact. As Youth of the Year, he’s ready to show young people across Canada the power of youth-led change.
