More than sixty years ago, dedicated and visionary members of the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton East recognized the need for quality programs and recreational opportunities for children and youth and opened Hamilton's very first Boys and Girls Club in the northeast end of the city. Boys and Girls Clubs of Hamilton now draws more than 4,000 children and youth from across the city and operates in multiple locations to better meet the needs of families in diverse neighbourhoods.

In addition to the Kiwanis Boys and Girls Club on Ellis Avenue, there is the Sanford Boys and Girls Club at the corner of Wilson and Sanford, and the McQuesten Boys and Girls Club at the east end of Britannia. Services are provided through seven neighbourhood sites which include the Ontario Early Years Centres, and free transportation programs that bring children from five different schools and community locations to the pool, gym, and programs at our main location. We are also pleased to announce the opening of the free Let's Get Moving program in 13 elementary schools across the city where children in grades one through six will experience active living, nutrition, and personal well-being programming in a registered and well-supervised environment every day after school.
