Changes to our program when school is closed.
With TDSB/TCDSB schools closed for in person learning until further notice, we have been planning for changes to our programs at our Main Clubhouse and satellite locations (Regal Road, McMurrich, Rawlinson, Kensington).
Daytime program for kids JK-Grade 6
TDSB/TCDSB schools are now pivoting to virtual learning. When virtual learning is on offer, we are unable to offer daytime programs for the children.
STARS After School Program
The STARS after school program will run for the children who attend at our Main Clubhouse only, whether or not there is virtual learning. No shuttle service will be available but if you are able to get your kids here for 3:30 and pick up at 6pm we will have lots of fun activities for them!
We will assess a reduction in fees at the end of the strike action once we determine the number of days the schools will be closed for.
Aquatic Program at Winona P.S.
Should the CUPE strike continue into next week, schools will also be closed to Authorized Recreation Programs, meaning that we will be unable to run the aquatic program at Winona P.S.
Once we find out how many days our program will be closed for (if any), we will determine whether we can extend the session or offer a refund for missed classes.
Programs for Youth
Evening programs for youth will run as usual. Daytime programs such as homework help and computer lab access will be on offer as well. Please contact Youth Program Coordinators directly.
We remain hopeful that an agreement will be reached over the weekend and school and the STARS program will be open as usual on Monday!

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.
