The YMCA mission truly comes to life through the programs and services we deliver in communities across Canada. Everything we do has a single purpose: to improve the health and well-being of Canadians in spirit, mind, and body.
We know health is more than just the absence of illness or your physical fitness level. It’s also about your social, mental, and emotional well-being. On the surface, you may not think of our programs as health programs, but take a closer look and you’ll see that we are helping Canadians of all ages be healthier in every way.
At the Y, we think the best way to help people is by offering programs and services that give them a chance to connect with others and their community, building a supportive network where we’re all working together to reach our goals, as well as building healthier communities and a healthier Canada in the process.
