Hold Policy

Members may wish to put a hold on their membership when you know you will not be using it for a period of time. Here is how it works:

Two weeks written notice prior to your payment date is required to hold a membership.
Persons must be a member for a minimum of six months before they are eligible to put a hold on their membership.
Memberships can be held for a maximum length of three (3) consecutive months, once per membership year.
A minimum hold must be one full month
Membership payments will automatically resume after the hold period ends.
If a member decides to return earlier than their original hold period, the payments will be adjusted
Members are responsible for notifying the YMCA-YWCA of Guelph in writing two weeks prior to the end of their hold period if they decide to cancel their membership. A $25.00 cancellation fee will apply if you have not been a member of the YMCA-YWCA of Guelph for two years prior to the hold.
