In early 2021, the non-profit organization said there was not enough demand for its programs in Metchosin, while services elsewhere in the region were facing wait lists.
The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Victoria has lost a petition in B.C. Supreme Court to sell its 98-acre Metchosin property.
A conditional offer was accepted in 2021 to sell the property to a group that provides nature-based programs and retreats for youth and adults. The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Victoria Foundation said in a statement the pending sale will not proceed as planned because it didn’t receive court approval.
The foundation bought the land from the province for about $1.63 million with donations. It sought court approval to convert the specific charitable purposes related to those donations, which were to fund the Metchosin property, to more general charitable donations that would allow it to fund services and infrastructure costs elsewhere.
Justice Francesca Marzari dismissed the club’s petition in a ruling released last week, writing that the proposal to sell the property and to convert its value to charitable purposes unrelated to operating a camp for children and youth on the Metchosin land is not as close as possible to the original purpose of the donated funds.
