YMCA Programs for Children & Youth
Parents with young kids are tight on time and energy. That’s why we focus on
making our programs easy to fit into your schedule, while giving you the chance
to exercise and recharge. Whether you’re playing games together on Family
Night, dropping in for a swim, introducing your child to new activities or each
finding your own way to be active at the Y, you can be confident you are growing
as a family.
YMCA memberships include programs for kids and adults at the best times of day.
YMCA Youth Leadership Development
YLD is a safe, fun, comfortable environment where you can build self-esteem,
lifelong friendships and develop strong leadership skills. Plus, you’ll meet new
people and have fun.
MEND - Mind, Exercise, Nutrition... Do It!
Trying to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle can be challenging. With school,
an abundance of screen time and a busy family life, kids are spending less time
being active and as a result, many are above a healthy weight. Helping kids
grow up strong and healthy is why the YMCA exists. That’s why we offer MEND,
a provincially funded program that empowers children and families to become

7-13 who are above a healthy body weight to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Parents/
caregivers join their children in each session to learn about how to choose
healthier foods and spend more time being physically active.
Licensed Child Care
Choosing a child care provider is a big decision. You want your child to feel
at home, learn, grow and have fun in an environment that is welcoming,safe
and stimulating. And most of all you want caring and supportive caregivers
who understand what makes your child special. Through both our early years
and before and after school licensed programs, kids learn values and positive
behaviours in a supportive environment. Children have the opportunity to be
active, have fun and develop confidence. Plus, parents get the peace of mind
knowing that children are active and learning while spending time with friends
and positive adult role models.
