BGC Red Deer and Youth HQ expand into Rocky Mountain House

BGC Red Deer and Youth HQ are expanding programs and services into Rocky Mountain House.

Youth HQ will now work alongside BGC Clearwater County in order to serve children and families within the Hwy 11 David Thompson Corridor.

BGC Red Deer & District now operates 15 community-based locations in central Alberta.

“BGC Clearwater County is working with Youth HQ over the next several months to unify the two organizations. This means that BGC Clearwater County will work to dissolve their stand-alone charitable status and have invited Youth HQ to assume BGC programming in Rocky Mountain House,” explains Rob Lewis executive director.

“This opens many new opportunities for service delivery in the west-central region of Alberta. It also provides a natural extension of Youth HQ programming in the area, helping Youth HQ to more readily provide access to Camp Alexo (located part way between Rocky Mountain House and Nordegg) to children and youth in the west-central region.”

Lewis says that while this means significant change for both organizations, in the end, youth and children in the region will have more opportunity to access and enjoy BGC programming in the future.
