'Growing up in London, I actually learned how to play basketball at BGC London and that passion for sport kicked off a lifelong journey,' said Warner.
'But I also learned the value of community, which has been equally important. Enjoying the decathlon-inspired activities and connecting with the kids was really special. I want every camper at BGC London to know that by working hard, believing in yourself, and engaging in the community, you can go further than you ever imagined.'
The donation marked the first of BGC London's 70th anniversary campaign.
'At Canada Life, we believe every child and youth deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and excel,' said Fabrice Morin, president and COO of Canada Life.
'This gift reflects our commitment to help young people reach their full potential and build a future full of promise.'

Jessica Campbell continues to make strides in women's hockey, inspiring next generation of women and girls
WATCH: Sierra D'Souza Butts brings us the story of Jessica Campbell, a Sask. woman who continues to make strides in women's hockey. It's been a long, unique journey for Rocanville's Jessica Campbell as she enters her second NHL season coaching for the Seattle Kraken. 'I grew up playing boys hockey. There wasn't, at that time, opportunities for all girls teams, really. It's a testament to how far the game has come and grown,' Campbell told CTV News. Since retiring from the women's national team in 2017, Campbell has set the pace for women behind the bench by becoming the first female coach for a men's world championships in 2022. In her current role as assistant coach, Campbell said she feels fortunate to achieve her goal of working at the highest level of hockey. 'When I found my coaching path taking me down the men's game, I found myself finding a unique fit,' she expressed. 'Now I've been chasing this goal and following my dream, and very fortunate and privileged to get to do what I love every day at the National Hockey League (NHL).' As she continues to break barriers, Campbell leaves a lasting legacy for young girls in hockey – serving as a new role model for youth across the province. 'If you can see it, you can achieve it,' said Amanda Hungle, executive director for Hockey Regina. 'It definitely has a positive impact in that way, female youth seeing [Jessica] in that position just lets them know that's a place they can land one day too.' Even before Campbell's impact, hockey has been steadily growing among females in Canada. Hockey Canada Hockey Canada aims to have over 170,000 women and girls playing hockey across the country by 2030. (Source: Hockey Canada) In 2010, more than 85,000 women and girls were registered in Hockey Canada programs – which saw an increase of 23,000 in the 2023-24 season. However, the organization is aiming to have over 170,000 women and girls playing hockey across the country. Excited to see the opportunities ahead, Campbell said she hopes her story can be the guide for everyone chasing their goals. 'I think hockey is for everyone and my career is a testament to that. I look to many other people who found their way in the game and it transcends all gender,' shared Campbell. 'I think there's a place for all of us in the sport in whatever role that looks like. For me, it's behind the bench and there's visibility now so that dream can inspire for another kid, not just boys, but girls as well to see themselves in the game.' 'That's my biggest thing is if you see yourself and you love this game, just chase the dream and see where it takes you.'

Canada's Fernandez rips tournament organizers after crashing out of National Bank Open
Leylah Fernandez, of Canada, walks off court following her first round match loss to Maya Joint, of Australia, at the National Bank Open tennis tournament in Montreal, Tuesday, July 29, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graham Hughes Leylah Fernandez has a bone to pick with tournament organizers. Not only did she exit the court crushed by her lacklustre performance before a hometown crowd — tears still running down her cheeks more than 90 minutes after the match — Fernandez also blamed unfavourable scheduling that set her up to fail. The top-ranked Canadian crashed out of the National Bank Open's first round with a lopsided 6-4, 6-1 loss to Australia's Maya Joint on Tuesday afternoon, two days after hoisting her fourth WTA crown at the D.C. Open. Fernandez said she received 'a lot of promises' that she would take the court during Tuesday's night session, giving her more time to rest between the two tournaments, but learned Sunday while travelling to Montreal from Washington that wouldn't be the case. 'I did not receive that,' she said. 'That hurt me because I was very looking forward to be playing at night, but I guess it's a little bit political issues at that point.' Valérie Tétreault, the National Bank Open tournament director in Montreal, responded that she promised Fernandez she would 'fight so that she could have the time she wanted.' 'But I didn't win my fight,' Tétreault said, noting that the WTA Tour determines scheduling. 'I received the request for her to play in the evening. It's my role to have conversations with the WTA, so I pushed as much as possible for her to have what she wanted.' Tétreault added that exceptions had already been made for Fernandez. The 22-year-old from Laval, Que., and Joint were among the final three first-round matches held until Tuesday, despite her half of the bracket starting play on Sunday. Fellow D.C. Open finalist Anna Kalinskaya of Russia was also scheduled to play no earlier than 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, but she won her match 7-6 (6), 0-6, 6-3 over Ann Li of the United States. 'Normally when we have matches that are delayed, when there is catch-up to do, we have to play them as early as possible during the day,' Tétreault said. 'We pushed her at least so that it wouldn't be the first match at 11 a.m. to give her a chance to recover.' Tennis Canada backed up Tétreault's words in a statement. 'WTA protocols mean first-round matches need to be completed before second-round matches are played, ensuring fairness to all players,' the statement read. 'Given Leylah won the title in Washington on Sunday, she was not able to arrive in Montreal until the early hours of Monday morning. As a result, the WTA made the decision to play her opening match in the latest possible first-round slot.' Fernandez had previously detailed a whirlwind turnaround after her victory Sunday in Washington. The 2021 U.S. Open finalist arrived back home in Montreal at roughly 2 a.m. Monday and slept about three hours before attending an event for her foundation at IGA Stadium around 8 a.m. later that morning. The fatigue certainly showed on the court. 'It felt great being on court, hearing the fans and feeling their support. I was just disappointed with my level of play, and it wasn't fair for them,' the No. 24-ranked Fernandez said. 'It was a very, very low level.' Fernandez gave up six break points and won only 49 per cent of her points on first serve. The 19-year-old Joint, ranked 45th, won 62 of 109 points to win the match in 75 minutes. Fernandez fell down 2-0, double-faulting twice to drop her first service game. In a 5-2 hole, Fernandez saved a set point and battled back to make it 5-4, but failed to hold serve once again. Joint rolled to a 4-0 lead in the second and hardly looked back. The Canadian also took issue with the WTA's tone when it revealed the scheduling to her coach — and father — Jorge Fernandez. 'They asked him with a sarcastic tone if two or three hours would make a difference,' she said. 'Yes, it would make a great difference. Maybe I win the match, maybe I don't, but of course it helps the two to three hours where I could sleep a little more. 'Physical recovery, maybe a stretching session, a massage could help me. But it's just small things of 'What if,' but it didn't happen and that's it.' This year's National Bank Open — a WTA 1000-level tournament — debuted a revamped 12-day, 96-player format, with the top 32 seeds receiving byes to the second round. Tétreault said she foresaw potential problems arising from her tournament's main draw beginning the same day as the WTA 500 final in Washington. 'The calendar is supposed to be made so that the 1000-level tournaments are prioritized over a WTA 500,' she said. 'We'll have to go back to the drawing table.' Fernandez was only one story on a less-than-ideal day for Canadians, as Bianca Andreescu of Mississauga, Ont., and Vancouver's Rebecca Marino also exited the tournament. Andreescu withdrew with a left ankle injury, sustaining the ailment on match point of her first-round win Sunday night versus Barbora Krejcikova of Czechia. Marino, meanwhile, fell 6-1, 6-2 to eighth seed Emma Navarro of the United States in second-round action. The 25-year-old Andreescu said she tore ligaments in her ankle but wouldn't rule out a return to the court at the Cincinnati Open, which begins in just over a week. The former world No. 4 has repeatedly spent time off the court with back, shoulder, knee, ankle and foot injuries. 'I even screamed out like, 'Why does this keep happening to me?'' she said. 'At this point, it's laughable. It's just crazy. I'm trying to stay positive but it's getting really tough.' Toronto's Victoria Mboko and Eugenie Bouchard, who extended her career Monday night with a first-round win over Colombia's Emiliana Arango, were the only Canadians remaining in the women's singles bracket. Mboko bounced the 23rd-seeded American Sofia Kenin 6-2, 6-3 in 80 minutes on Tuesday night. She advances to the third round and will face Marie Bouzkova of Czechia, who knocked off the 14th-seeded Diana Shnaider of Russia 6-2, 7-6. No. 1 seed Coco Gauff opened her tournament with a second-round slugfest against fellow American Danielle Collins in Fernandez's desired slot. Gauff won 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (2) in two hours, 56 minutes.
