Goal Getters
6:30pm – 7:30pm. We’re excited to invite youth Grade 7 and up to a sports & games night hosted in a local gymnasium! Youth will be bussed from the CanTeen to the venue, where they’ll engage in youth-led games, sports, and activities designed to support gross motor skill development in a safe and supervised environment.
This is a fantastic opportunity for youth to stay active, build teamwork, and have fun in a space that encourages leadership and physical wellness. Sign up at the CanTeen and permission to transport required.
