We had a fire extinguisher go off last night and unfortunately need to close the building until the restoration team is finished cleaning. We are hoping to open up Friday and will keep you posted. *C

HEY GIRLFRIENDS! WE ARE BACK!!! 💗
My name is Carly O'Neill and I am your new program coordinator for Girlfriends 2018. Last week we had our first welcome session into the program. Special thank you to former program coordinator Steph Hardy and former girlfriend Marlee Robinson for being there to help out.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE - if you, or someone you know would be interested in joining this amazing program for girls in grade 7&8 come to the Collingwood Youth Centre this Thursday April 19th from 3:45 to 5pm.
We will be reviewing program details and polices, enjoy a yummy snack together, and be doing some fun getting to know you icebreakers and team-building activities! Hope to see you there 😊
