Why Supporting BGC Ottawa at Tamarack Race Weekend Matters

Every child deserves a safe place to feel valued and inspired—a space where they can play, learn, and dream big. For thousands of kids and teens in our city, that place is BGC Ottawa (formerly Boys & Girls Club of Ottawa).

For some, home life is unpredictable, and school can feel overwhelming. BGC Ottawa steps in as a lifeline, offering safe spaces filled with positivity, belonging, and opportunity. Through sports, arts, academic support, and leadership programs, BGC Ottawa empowers young people to see their potential and work toward brighter futures.

The Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend is more than a race; it’s a chance for our community to rally behind these kids and their dreams. Your support ensures that BGC Ottawa can continue offering the resources, mentorship, and programs that change lives.

By donating, running, or cheering, you’re creating opportunities for kids to thrive. Let’s come together and make a lasting impact for the children and youth who will shape Ottawa’s future.
