Better Health & Wellness
We are improving our community’s health by providing programs and services that focus on your journey toward better health.
We believe in developing healthy attitudes and behaviour at a young age; we believe people need to be active at every stage of life and we believe YMCA can play a leading role in an integrated community health system. When you walk through our doors, we want you to feel welcome and have a strong sense of belonging to our YMCA community. Research has shown that this connection to others and your community can have a huge impact on your health.
“When I discovered the YMCA’s Community Garden a few years ago, this 3 season activity filled a void left when I retired, sold our country home and became an apartment dweller. Since then, I have made many new friends, gleaned a wealth of information from our diverse and culturally rich fellow gardeners and shared many laughs.”
- Deby, YMCA Community Gardener
The Need
Your health should not be determined by the size of your bank account or the neighbourhood you live in. But that is the reality facing many people in our communities. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to lead healthy lives, regardless of where they live or their circumstances.
