20 Years of Play: GGYC Cheers on Jumpstart’s Milestone

February 22, 2025

More than 125 youth from Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe Park participated in this special day.

On February 22, 2025, Go Green Youth Centre hosted a Jumpstart Game Day at Valley Park Middle School to celebrate Jumpstart’s 20th birthday. The game day featured free sports and activities for youth of all ages, skills and abilities. We were proud to have over 125 local youth from Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe Park attending this special event.

Jumpstart has been a proud partner of Go Green Youth Centre since 2015, helping enrich the lives of youth through sport and physical activity.

We were honoured to welcome Doug Gore from Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities on this special day.

Thank you to our staff, participants, parents, and Jumpstart for making this a memorable event!
