The YMCA serves people without discriminating on age, social standing or disability. The YMCA offers places where friendships are formed and where families can come together.

For Human Development
The YMCA depends on a host of volunteers. Whether it’s for courses on starting a small business, job search support services, language courses, mentoring or support services for new Canadians, the YMCA seeks to help people develop to their full potential.
