For 180 years, YMCAs have been at the centre of communities across Canada helping people of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities live engaging, more rewarding lives. A charity dedicated to the health of individuals and communities, the YMCA is accessible to all, serving over 2 million people in more than 1000 locations. 

Our programs and services address significant social and health issues with initiatives tailored to local community needs. Each association is a member of YMCA Canada, a federation that works together to strengthen communities and advocate for children, teens and young adults, helping all to reach their potential and realize their goals.
