Pictou County Wellness Centre announces next phase of re-opening plan, effective Friday, Oct 2nd, 2020 https://pcwellnesscentre.ca/re-opening-plan/

Please note that our Parent & Tot skate(9am) as well as our Senior(10am) and Adult skate(12pm) scheduled for Monday, Sept 28th is cancelled. Regular schedule will resume Wednesday. We apologize for the inconvenience

Can you help? The back parking lot is often full and many of our neighbours do not know the YMCA is open because the front parking lot is empty. For the safest ...experience, we are using the back entrance to the facility only (1 entrance) to control numbers and ensure a proper check in for contact tracing. If you are able, please consider parking out front and walk around as part of your exercise warm up. There is a sidewalk around the building on the pool/child care side (Westville Road side) of the facility. Caring about those who need to park close to the back door because of mobility or small children. Caring about making sure your YMCA is successful. Hoping you will consider helping out when you can.
