It’s a place for families, and everyone is welcome. The YMCA of Southwestern Ontario prides itself on enriching the community through ‘growth in spirit, mind, and body’ for people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and abilities. And it’s especially great for families.
After all, busy families need a place designed just for them. At the YMCA, families receive all-in-one programming and schedules that suit the whole family.
“Our all-in rates give families access to everything they want,” says Christina Matthews, the general manager at the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario. “Family memberships include programs like soccer, basketball, swimming lessons, dance and cooking classes for children.”
Group fitness classes, meanwhile, are offered for moms and dads, while the whole family has access to the pool and the gym. The YMCA offers free child minding, and a variety of discounted day camps.
And the benefits of the YMCA are available to all. It’s a big part of what the organization stands for.
“We believe that everyone deserves access to our programs and services,” says Matthews, “which is why we offer financial assistance to families in need.”
The YMCA means welcoming, it means belonging, and it means opportunity. If you haven’t visited the YMCA, drop by and join the community!
