🌟 We did it! This past weekend, Team WSNCC conquered the incredible United Way #ClimbUP challenge with @uwgreaterto, climbing all 1,776 steps to the top of the CN Tower! We joined forces with so many others, united in the mission to fight local poverty and build stronger, better communities across the GTA. 💪🏙️ We’re also excited to say that we reached our fundraising goal! 🎉 But there’s still time to make an impact—donations will stay open until 5:00PM on November 22nd. To donate to Team WSNCC check out the link in our bio! 💫 Thank you to United Way Greater Toronto for empowering us to make a difference together. And hats off to our team members who showed such incredible strength and dedication throughout the climb. We’re so proud of each of you! 👏💙 #climbup2024 #up4community #teamwsncc

Today, on Remembrance Day, we remember and honor the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who served to protect the freedoms we cherish. ❤️ We invite our West Scarborough community to pause, reflect, and hold dear the values they fought to uphold. Let’s honor their memory by working together to create a future grounded in peace and respect. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. #remembranceday2024 #lestweforget🌹 #wsncc

On June 7th, 2019 Boys and Girls invite you to join us as we #unplugtoconnect 🛑📱 The internet and smartphones are changing the way that children and youth connect with the world around them. Anxiety is on the rise, as teens and youth feel the need to be "plugged in" at all times. Boys and Girls Club believe that building relationships is an important life skill. At Boys and Girls Club, both at WSNCC and across the country, kids spend time away from smartphones and computers every single day- playing together, learning together, and being mentored by caring adults. Let's join them! Visit unplugtoconnect.ca for more information.
