Why the Y?

As a charity that's over 150 years old, the Y continues to serve people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities and through all stages of life. We've always been dedicated to helping people attain good health through a healthy lifestyle and encouraging them to get involved in making their community a better place for everyone.

Our concept of health focuses on prevention, rehabilitation, self-management and the social support needed to grow in spirit, mind and body. In everything that we do, we try to inspire a sense of responsibility to each other and the global community. We believe in leveraging the power of one for the benefit of the collective good.

The Y provides values-based programs and services that teach the importance of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and inclusiveness. It's a place where friendships are formed and family ties are strengthened. A Y is a centre of community where people meet and discover common needs or interests. To reach as many people as we can, the Y offers financial assistance to those who would otherwise be unable to benefit from its services.
