Our major focus is to provide financial support for Camp Circle O’Friends “touching the lives of children whose lives have been touched by cancer”. We have helped to build a storage shed, a medical facility and a “challenge course” - used for creative physical activities and team building at the camp, located on the shores of Lake Diefenbaker.

Other charities and organizations we have supported include: the Girl Guides of Canada, Special Olympics, Inner-City Schools Lunch Program, Raise-A-Reader, the Regina Therapeutic Riding Association, the Regina wheelchair Basketball Association, and others

The Canadian Progress Club Regina Centre is part of a network of Progress Clubs across Canada. The men and women in these clubs contribute their time and energy to do good work in their respective communities. Each year they raise in excess of $2,000,000 in support of their selected charities. Since our club was chartered in 1987 more than $2,000,000 has been raised for the organizations we have selected in Regina and the surrounding community.

Progressions are men and women from all walks of life who enjoy hands-on involvement in charitable activities. In particular, members are proud of their contributions in the area of underprivileged children, and of helping to foster the cause of the physically, mentally and socially handicapped people of Canada through service to the community. In doing so they meet new friends and have fun.
