Black Family Fun Night — Spring 2026 Session Now Open
A safe, inclusive, and culturally affirming space for children ages 5–12 of African, Caribbean, and Black descent. Join us for 5 weeks of fun, skill-building, creativity, and connection where children grow in confidence, make new friends, and create lasting memories.
This year we’re celebrating 5 years of community, connection, and empowerment — and we’re running Spring 2026 with two program options, both under one roof at Erin Mills Middle School so children can move between activities and enjoy the full experience.
BFFN — Sports & Recreation Stream
Led by Coach Marvin and supported by Jumpstart leadership-trained youth coaches, this stream offers intense basketball skills, drills, and game play — building confidence, teamwork, discipline, and leadership. Fun, high-energy, and community-focused, with youth-led activities and mentorship built in.
