Health and Fitness Member Update
It's been too long since we last saw you. We've heard from many members who are missing their daily routine and YMCA friends and connections. We miss it too!
Even though our doors are closed, the Y continues to serve our local communities in many ways, such as providing essential care packages to neighbours in need, offering free virtual wellness programs to people at home, and providing remote services to newcomers to Canada.
We know you’re wondering when you can return to your Y.
We are following the direction of local and provincial health authorities carefully to ensure the proper measures are in place before announcing our reopening.
You may have heard the recent announcement about pools and we want to let you know that as outlined in the Framework for Reopening the Province, gyms and fitness facilities are included in Stage 3. We understand members can't wait to get back to the Y - and we can’t wait to have you - but for now, in accordance with the Provincial government's direction, pools within our fitness facilities will remain closed until we can safely reopen.
We’ve established key principles to guide how and when we will reactivate YMCA programs and services, driven by our commitment to your safety and that of our valued staff and volunteers. We will ensure our facilities meet the highest standards for hygiene and safety, including modifying programs and facility spaces to maintain safe physical distancing.
We look forward to sharing the details for reopening as soon as we can! Until then, you can enjoy your favourite workouts and activities for all ages at your Virtual YMCA.
Please note all membership fees remain on hold. We will provide updates in the future regarding fee reactivation in advance, along with our reopening details. Thank you for your patience and continued support.
