Thank you to Oakvillenews.org for sharing this important op-ed by our President & CEO, Kyle Barber, about the current state of the YMCA and other not-for-profits. "One in seven residents was served by the YMCA of Oakville before the pandemic. You may have learned to swim at the YMCA or learned to canoe at a YMCA Camp. Your child may have been cared for in a YMCA licenses Child Care Centre. Maybe you used to enjoy the friendly competition of a pick-up basketball gamer over a lunch hour in your local YMCA gymnasium. If you value having organizations like the YMCA in your neighbourhood, please act now. The YMCA needs your support and engagement now more than ever. "

"Like all families, our lives changed in 2020. It is a priority for us that our kids remain engaged in a daily routine that includes learning and socialization with peers. The YMCA program is an important component of our day and provides a safe, fun and social outlet for our daughter. As a family with two working parents, Sara would not have been able to return to school in September without a before and after school program available. We would encourage any family who is c...onsidering registering their child for YMCA to contact the facilitators to educate themselves about the program and review the safety procedures that are in place to keep the kids safe, happy and healthy.
