If schools are closed, there will be changes to our programs.

With the possibility of schools being closed on Monday due to strike action, we are planning for changes to our programs at our Main Clubhouse and satellite locations (Regal Road, McMurrich, Rawlinson, Kensington).
Daytime program
If schools are closed, we will NOT be offering a daytime program for children on Monday. Should the strike continue past Monday, we are considering offering a program on Tuesday (and beyond) but it will depend on staff availability and updated guidelines for authorized recreation programs.
If
we are able to run a program on Tuesday, the program will be $60/day, will be located at our Main Clubhouse, will run from 9am-5pm and will only be offered to those children that already attend the STARS After School program at our Main Clubhouse and any satellite locations. You MUST register in order to attend. No same day drop offs will be accepted. We will send a follow up email on Monday with registration details if schools are closed and if we are permitted to run a program.
STARS After School Program – if schools are closed.
If schools are closed, the STARS after school program will still run for the children who attend at our Main Clubhouse only. 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.
If schools are closed for in person learning, they 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 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 will be open as usual on Monday!

We're proud to serve Toronto's children, youth, and families. You can review our impact in 2025 in this PDF , which highlights the critical work that we do at BGC St. Alban's Club. Our preschool, afterschool, summer camps and youth programs have enormously positive influence on individuals, families and communities.
