g.a.b runs WNBA event hosted by Tangerine Bank on November 13, 2022
It was a dream come true for g.a.b to work with the WNBA and showcase our programming that builds confidence in girls!  It was equally empowering to watch majority of the g.a.b staff who led the event were once former g.a.b participants. Can you guess which of the six g.a.b coaches were once participants in the picture below?

"Get Outside And Train" (GOAT) program - Our COVID-19 Response
From April - June, 2022, g.a.b was able to get girls active again by offering free basketball training outdoors as our response to COVID-19's isolation of families and physical activity.  A very special thanks to Jumpstart's Sport Relief Fund for allowing us to offer this free program to our community members. g.a.b was one of nearly 300 sport & recreation organizations across Canada to receive grant funding.

15 Year Anniversary
July 2020 would have marked g.a.b's 15 year anniversary but all plans were cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, on June 10, 2021 g.a.b celebrated community, connections and confidence in a virtual way to honour our 15 years of service.  Learn more and watch the digital experience here.

"The Six" in Regent Park
It was a pleasure to work with the girls from the Regent Park Community to offer this FREE Christmas 2019 program called "The Six".  We offered six of our important workshops to improve their self-esteem and personal worth that were fun, engaging and informative.  Thank you to MLSE LaunchPad for hosting us!  A special shout out to the graduated g.a.b girls for pursuing excellence in their post-secondary education as they received Scholarship Money for their educational pursuits.  Thank you to TD Bank Group for their commitment to supporting our girls education!

Champion Change
It was an honour for g.a.b to participate in the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS) "Champion Change" 2018 campaign.  We strongly believe in the need for more female coaches and for more girls to actively participate in sport.  A huge thank you to g.a.b participant Rasa and coaches Leanne & Gabby for starring in this video!

TD Bank Shines a Spotlight On Us
In April of 2017, g.a.b was chosen as TD's Spotlight for operating a small businesses that is making an impact in the community.
