It's no accident that the team at Dartmouth North refers to Dale Thomas as "the wise old owl" of the club. Dale has worked at our Dartmouth North site for 30 years. Dale makes sure the building is clean and safe for our kids, and as our bus driver, makes sure they get to and from school on time. But as Dale's colleague Lillian Munroe points out, Dale's impact in the club runs much deeper. "He's like the father of the club. He makes all the kids laugh and they look up to him. He will do anything for anybody. He's helped generations of kids in Dartmouth North." Thanks for all that you do, Dale!
My daughter loves him! So glad she is in a club with so many great role models.
30 years, wow! This is why we love Boys and Girls Club!

Dale is a hard nut to crack as they say but once you do, he will have your back forever. Thank you Dale for always supporting me and our kids.

11-year-old Naomi Johnson has been a member of our Dartmouth North site for seven years, and says the club is "a nice environment to be in. There are friends everywhere. They have really good leaders, they’re really nice. You learn how to be social. You get to cook, draw, be in the gym. I just have a lot of fun here.” Naomi's mother, Jennifer Guitard, says that as a parent, she feels "listened to and heard, we really like that. The club is always striving to improve. It’s a safe space. It’s safe emotionally. Kids come here, they can be themselves. The kids have access to great leaders, to good role models, but because it’s the Boys & Girls Club, they also have access to special stuff or other leaders with special programs. Sometimes I’ll say to Naomi, ‘do you want to try something different, a different kind of program or activity?’ She always says ‘no. I’m staying at the club.’”
We are proud of Bailey MacDonald, one of our after school program leaders in our Cole Harbour site. Bailey is one of 26 Boys and Girls Club members from across Canada who has received a 2018 Best Buy Canada Grade 10 Scholarship! Now in Grade 11 at Cole Harbour High School, Bailey will receive $5,000 from Best Buy when she goes to university. The 16-year-old from Lawrencetown is interested in marine biology, exploring the ocean, and the conservation of our environment. The student council rep says she loves working with and getting to know our club kids: "Every kid comes from a different place, a different home. Every kid has something different to offer." Congrats, Bailey, and thanks for the difference you make!
Great job! You are a great role model for our kids!
Awesome! Congratulations very well deserved 💖 love from Willow and Thayne
Congratulations Bailey!
