“My BGC Club was a big reason my parents could go and work full-time jobs and not worry about what I was getting into. It's a great place for kids to develop!” From BGC Club kid at BGC Calgary – Renfrew to NHL hockey player, we’re celebrating Taylor Halls's induction into BGC Canada’s Alumni Hall of Fame! #BGCAHOF Taylor’s professional hockey career has included many highlights—helping the Ontario Hockey League Windsor Spitfires capture the Memorial Cup and helping Team Canada bring home gold and silver medals from 2008 to 2016. His career in the National Hockey League (NHL) began with the Edmonton Oilers as the first pick in the 2010 draft and continues today with the Chicago Blackhawks. Taylor continues to support BGC Clubs by giving back to BGC South East through hockey tournaments. Welcome to BGC Canada’s Alumni Hall of Fame! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g8RPcUZ7

Happy #BGCClubDay goeasy Ltd.! We're proud to partner with you to help create opportunities for young people in Canada. 💚
🎉Today is BGC Club Day and we have been a proud partner of BGC Canada for the last 20 years! In 2004, we were inspired to give back to the communities in which we live and work and began our partnership with BGC Canada, building on our support year after year. Over our meaningful 20-year partnership, we’ve filled back-to-school backpacks for kids who need supplies, hosted kids in our office to meet Santa, ran Toy Drives to put smiles on faces, participated in friendly soccer matches, hosted an annual fundraising golf tournament and remodeled 100 kitchens in clubs across Canada, donating a total of $4.7 million. Last year we announced our $1.4 million “Feed their Future” commitment to provide 350,000 healthy meals and snacks to youth by 2026. Today on June 7, we are excited to celebrate #BGCClubDay – BGC Canada's National Day of Awareness where Clubs and the entire BGC movement come together to celebrate Club impact across Canada, which includes creating opportunities for 150,000 young people and their families every year. Follow our partner BGC Canada today and see how you can get involved! Learn more about BGC Club Day and their mission: https://bgcclubday.com/ #goeasygivesback
