Youth (aged 11yrs +):
Bring your game face because we will be playing some minute to win it style games. Some will be individual and some you will have to work together as a team to succeed. We will finish the evening off with a tasty slice of pizza. *Call reception at 807-623-4381 to register.*

Caregivers:
During this time, caregivers are invited to an adult socialization time where there will be a presentation from HEAL (Healthy Eating Active Living) YOUTH program. They will be sharing strategies and programs that they offer for youth. Light refreshments and snacks will be offered. We will not be able to offer Child minding but will provide activities for siblings to participate in.

If you do not want to participate in the caregiver program, that is ok, your child is still welcome to come to the Youth PACK but we do require guardians to stay in the lobby or in their car during the Youth PACK. If you are a caregiver of a child 11yrs+, but your child does not want to attend Youth PACK you are still welcome to attend the caregiver program.

It’s a time to honour where we started, recognize the people who built this Centre, and look ahead to the possibilities still to come.

Today we officially kicked off a very special milestone, George Jeffrey Children’s Centre’s 65th Anniversary. 💙

For 65 years, this Centre has been enriching the lives of children, youth, and families across Northwestern Ontario, grounded in care, community, and possibility. Today’s media launch marked the beginning of a year dedicated to honouring our history, celebrating our impact, and looking ahead to what’s still possible.

Throughout 2026, we look forward to celebrating alongside our staff, partners, clients, families, and the wider community who continue to make this work meaningful. This anniversary is about more than looking back, it’s about coming together and moving forward, together.

Here’s to 65 Years of Possibility and a year of reflection, connection, and celebration ahead.
