YMCA Statement on Canada Day 2022
This Canada Day, YMCA Canada is reflecting on this moment in time, the state of our country, and the world. From the work to support refugees who continue to flee from countries like Ukraine and Afghanistan, to divisions around COVID-19 safety protections, and continued inequities in our society, it is clear that many challenges lie ahead of us. We have seen what is possible when we work together for a greater good, as we have throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. But we have also seen what happens when we ignore our collective responsibility to each other.
United Way Funds YMCA Licensed Day Camps
The YMCA of Medicine Hat has been awarded $30,000 courtesy of the United Way’s Steve Murphy Foundation to directly offset the cost of licensed summer day camps. As a result of this funding, families will save 33% on registration fees, paying only $150 per week for YMCA Community Camps. With this funding, the YMCA is offering the most affordable Day Camp option within the city this summer.
Re-Opening Plans, June 2021
We are excited to welcome our members back to the Downtown and South Ridge YMCAs. We ask for your patience as we get our staffing numbers back to normal. This process is taking a bit longer than anticipated, but within about a week and a half we will be back to full hours of operation at both facilities. When we open, all areas of the facilities will be available for use however capacity restrictions will remain in place and members are required to follow all public health regulations.
