Our 2026 summer staff team is ready to go and we couldn’t do it without the support of Canada Summer Jobs. 💚☀️ CSJ helps youth aged 15 to 30 gain meaningful paid work experience while building the skills they need for the future.

Our summer staff gain real hands on experience in a community setting, and our campers get dedicated, passionate people in their corner all summer long. Thank you to Canada Summer Jobs for funding our 2026 summer staff team and to our representatives for their continued advocacy for West Scarborough. @dolybegumssw @shaunchenmp salmazahidmp @jeanyip3 @nateforontario 🙏 #BGCWestScarborough #WestScarborough #CanadaSummerJobs #SummerCamp #YouthEmployment
