Canadian Girls In Training was formed in 1916 in response to requests from teenage girls for a church program. A National Advisory Committee for Cooperation in Girls' Work, with representatives from the Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian, and Methodist churches and the YWCA, was set up to develop the program. The CGIT program was published in 1916 and promoted for the next two years by CGIT leaders at meetings across Canada. Large rallies held in Edmonton and Calgary met with great response. CGIT groups in Alberta were directed by the Religious Education Council of Alberta, an interdenominational body which coordinated youth work groups through the Boys' Work Board, Girls' Work Board, and Childrens' Work Board. These boards existed until 1962 when the Alberta Girls' Work Board became the Alberta CGIT Association, incorporated as a society and registered as a charity. The Alberta CGIT produces its own newsletter, The Gleam, and holds Provincial Camp at Sylvan Lake annually, as well as many other activities.
