RED DEER- The Canada Post Community Foundation has provided $20,000 in support for the Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer & District’s Rural Program Expansion project.

Rural communities have fewer programs to engage youth and children, and a need exists for accessible and affordable opportunities for young people.

The Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer & District now has resources to further enhance its programs and services because of Canada Post Community Foundation’s generosity.

The Boys and Girls Club provides a safe, barrier-free place for children and youth to go and engage in a variety of activities that promote healthy lifestyles and physical activity.

Youth can pursue interests under the guidance of positive peer and adult mentorship.
