Help give children and youth a holiday filled with warmth, friendship and memories.

A traditional holiday celebration is about sharing a meal, laughing with friends and feeling a sense of belonging. Through BGC Niagara’s annual Holiday Toy Drive, you can help create that experience for children and youth across Niagara.

Your generosity brings our Children’s Holiday Celebration to life. Children will gather at each of our three main BGC Clubs for a warm, cooked turkey dinner, enjoy fun with friends and choose a gift to take home. They’ll leave with a full belly, a special gift and happy memories to carry with them.

Every donation helps make this celebration possible.

The community is invited to celebrate the life and work of local artist Gordon Rose while supporting the Grimsby Public Art Gallery through the Gordon Rose Memorial Art Auction.

 Organized by Gordon’s son, Phil Rose, the online auction features a special collection of Gordon’s original artwork, with proceeds supporting the Grimsby Public Art Gallery. The collection includes works in watercolour, pastel, acrylic, scratchboard and photography, with many pieces inspired by Gordon’s love of nature, animals and the world around him.

 A longtime Grimsby resident, community volunteer and former President of the Grimsby Lakeside Pump House Artists, Gordon left a lasting legacy through both his community service and his art.

Bidding is now open and closes Friday, November 6, 2026, at 5 p.m
