About Our Charity Endless opportunities to shine bright at the Y Did you know that the Y is a charity that helps people from all walks of life, at all ages and life stages? Explore all our programs and services and find the best options to keep you and your family shining bright.

Benefits of Giving Monthly You’ll make long-term, sustained impact Monthly donations give the Y predictability and stability. When we can rely on monthly gifts, we can plan and deliver programs with more certainty, and with an eye for the longer-term. In other words, our monthly donors help us make deeper, sustained investments in our communities, using a planned approach to support our communities in the ways it’s needed most.

It’s the most streamlined giving option Monthly gifts are automated, and you will receive a single, consolidated receipt at the end of the year for your tax return. This means monthly gifts take less paper, postage, time, and resources to process. Our YMCA’s administrative costs are reduced, and, in turn, more dollars go towards programming and supporting your community.

Monthly gifts help donors make a sustained impact, with affordable payments Monthly gifts also allow donors to make a meaningful investment in their community, doled out in affordable payments. Giving monthly allows you to budget and plan more effectively: donations are processed on the first or fifteenth of each month and you can change or cancel your gift at any time.

EVERY DAY AT THE Y...

Parents can pursue their careers or education while their kids learn and grow in child care.

Adults achieve peace of mind at yoga classes and reach healthy workout goals at our health and fitness centres.

Toddlers build confidence with every stroke, learning life-saving swimming skills in our swimming & aquatics programs.

Older adults stay active and connected to their communities.

Newcomers are welcomed and supported as they settle in a new country.

Students gain life experience as volunteers, and as youth leaders in work and exchange programs.

By offering a safe destination where people from all walks of life can ignite their true potential, the Y has become both a beacon of inspiration and a trusted anchor of support for more than 117 years.
