Burnside Gorge Community Association

Founded in 1991 in response to community need, the Burnside Gorge Community Association (BGCA) began providing child care, family support, and recreation services to residents of the Burnside Gorge neighbourhood. Programs and services grew rapidly and since 2002 the BGCA has operated a full continuum of support services to children, youth and families throughout the capital region. Programming includes: a range of childcare programs for ages 3.5 to 11; a range of community and school based youth & family services; housing and asset development supports for youth and families; community recreation and special events for all ages; and a variety of community development initiatives.
