Our recreational program consists of a variety of different classes, each offering a different perspective to the sport of gymnastics .Gymnasts registered for this program are required to pay their annual $25 Gymnastics Ontario insurance fee (valid July 2011– June 2012) if they have not already done so during this season. As BGA is non-profit, we do fundraise. These monies go towards buying new equipment to enhance our gym.
