Many of our young people find themselves in vulnerable situations and facing adversities such as mental health issues, family violence, identity issues or poor living conditions, which put these youth at risk of not reaching their full potential. Because of your continued support as a volunteer, as a funder, as a donor, or as partner, our young people can gain the confidence to achieve more. You have helped Boys & Girls Clubs Big Brothers Big Sisters of Edmonton & Area (BGCBigs) to meet the needs of over 5600 young people in the past year, with the support of over 3400 caring volunteers. You have helped ensure that children and youth have access to mentoring and after school programs across this community. Because of you, children and youth challenged by the impacts of poverty have access to encouraging and healthy relationships, as well as, safe places to go after school. Because of your support, our children are exposed to experiences that help build their self-esteem, cultivate positive mental health, and construct a confident toolkit of resiliency for coping with a range of life events. When our kids are successful our community thrives. Thank you for being by our side in this work. When we needed you, you were there. Please know that we truly value your support and your friendship.

AT THE END OF THIS ANNUAL REPORT PLEASE SEE A SECTION DEVOTED TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, CALLED ‘OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS’. 5 Over The Past Year.... Boys and Girls Clubs Big Brothers Big Sisters(BGCBigs) is a community-supported organization committed to the healthy development of children, youth, and their families by providing safe places, positive relationships, services, and opportunities to develop personal strengths and interpersonal skills that enhance their long-term success in life. BCGBigs Mentoring and After-School programs seek to support vulnerable children and youth challenged by the impacts of poverty. The organization also works in partnership with other community organizations to develop and deliver programs geared to specific populations, such as the immigrant and refugee community, the Indigenous community, and other vulnerable groups (e.g. LGBTQ youth). Mentoring Mentoring has been shown to be an important component of wraparound community services to support a child’s success in school. Mentoring is defined the relationship be- tween a caring more experienced or wiser volunteer (e.g. adult or older teen) and a child or younger youth. Through participation in educational, recreation and social activities with a volunteer mentor, a mentoring relationship provides a child with support, friend- ship, guidance, and a constructive role model. Children With A 2600+ Mentor Are: kids mentored less likely to start using alcohol Boys with mentors were two times 27% more likely to believe that school 2x is fun or that good academic performance is important. They 46% less likely to start using drugs were also two times less likely to develop negative behaviors such as bullying, and less likely to suffer 37% less likely to skip a class from peer pressure anxiety (e.g. what others might think of them). 52% less likely to miss school Girls were found to be four times of former “littles” or mentees 4x less likely to bully others than 78% who came from a social assis- those without a mentor. tance background don’t rely on social assistance as adults. 6 3 additional northern communites we offer mentoring: Cold Lake, Vegreville, Lac La Biche After-School Programs BGCBigs Club programs offer site-based after-school program options in neighborhood club sites and schools.

These in Clubs This Past sites are spread throughout Edmonton in communities faced with Year: poverty and crime; many are within close to City of Edmonton low-income housing developments; neighborhoods also often have high immigrant 2500+ populations kids in clubs Highlight: Norwood Walking Bus – BGCBigs staff walk with a group of children to Norwood School to McCauley Club. At 800+ the club, volunteers assist the club staff kids summer programs with planned programs (either in the facility through partnerships or the gym), help with snack and/or dinner preparation, and interact with the kids as a positive role model. 350+ volunteers Summer programming is offered by BGCBigs in partnership with many organizations to support the delivery of summer program activities that engage refugee and immigrant children and youth. The programs link children and youth with mentors of different ages, cultural backgrounds, and interests. Activities strengthen their physical and mental well-being, minimize learning loss over summer months and improve their ability to achieve success in school. 7 Successes BGCBigs is currently working with the Catalyst Research and Development on the BGCBigs project, Building an Evaluation Framework & Capacity for Sustainability. Together they are implementing a comprehensive work plan proposed by Catalyst to develop and implement a BGCBigs evaluation capacity framework. They will embed this framework across service delivery and corporate functions, and build the capacity of staff to implement the tools and metrics. This overarching framework will inform all future BGCBigs evaluation efforts, resulting in guidance, documentation and increased staff and organizational capacity to understand evaluation, implement quality

  • MEDIA FYI 2016 Calgary Stampede Parade Marshals: Jann Arden And
    July 4, 2016 MEDIA FYI 2016 Calgary Stampede Parade Marshals: Jann Arden and Paul Brandt CALGARY, ALBERTA – Calgary Stampede Parade Marshals occupy a prestigious place in the history of the Calgary Stampede. Among other things, they exemplify western heritage, values, and culture. 2016 Parade Marshals: Jann Arden and Paul Brandt In honour of our city’s “Year of Music” celebration, singer-songwriter Jann Arden and homegrown country music superstar Paul Brandt will lead the Calgary Stampede Parade. Fresh off hosting the 2016 Juno Awards, Calgary-born Arden is a singer, songwriter, broadcaster and author. Whether she is captivating audiences with her heartfelt music, entertaining them with her quick wit or sharing her written word in a boldly honest voice – Arden is a Canadian original – a brilliant multi-dimensional talent. Brandt, the most awarded male Canadian Country Music artist in history, had an unlikely journey of humble beginnings and big dreams to fame and stardom. A true Calgary Stampede friend, Brandt headlined the stage for all 10 nights of the 2012 Centennial TransAlta Grandstand Show. History of the Parade Marshal One of the Calgary Stampede’s oldest and proudest traditions is the role of Stampede Parade Marshal. The Parade Marshal not only leads the Parade, but is also a reflection of the values and culture of the community. The very first Calgary Stampede Parade in 1912 was led by 1,800 members of the Treaty 7 First Nations at the request of Stampede visionary, Guy Weadick. People marveled at the grandeur and splendor of seeing 1,800 First Nations people from five different tribes dressed in their traditional regalia.

    Une tradition de vigilance : le rôle du lieutenant-gouverneur de l’Alberta par Alfred Thomas Neitsch Actuellement, au Canada, une fausse idée circule voulant que le gouverneur général et les lieutenants-gouverneurs soient impuissants d’un point de vue politique. En réalité, ils possèdent des pouvoirs considérables, tant de nature juridique que politique. En utilisant la province de l’Alberta comme exemple, l’auteur aborde les façons dont divers lieutenants-gouverneurs ont exercé les pouvoirs qui leur ont été accordés en vertu des lois et des conventions. e lieutenant-gouverneur était censé jouer un double rôle, Le lieutenant-gouverneur constituait le pivot de l’ingérence c’est-à-dire celui de représentant du monarque, mais fédérale.
