We recently spoke to 20 different YMCA members about why they chose to make the YMCA a part of their day. We got 20 different answers.

We soon realized that everybody has a story to tell. Now we’re asking you… Why the Y?

Over the next several weeks, we’ll be adding videos featuring you — our members — speaking about why you choose the YMCA.

As part of our ongoing renovations, half of the YMCA gymnasium (nearest the downstairs changerooms) will be closed starting Friday, August 5th, continuing over the next three weeks. Access to the other half of the gym will still be available through the lounge entrance.

This closure is necessary as part of the replacement of our existing HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning) systems and will help improve the facility and enhance the high level of service that our members and guests have come to expect. Please be assured that all precautions will be taken to ensure the overall health and safety of our participants and staff.

Should you notice any changes in your environment as a result of work being done, please report it to a staff member immediately.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

The North Bay YMCA Strong Kids Campain raises much needed funds to support children and families in our community by ensuring no one is left out of a YMCA experience due to their financial circumstance. Last year the North Bay YMCA assisted more than 1,400 individuals in our community. Regardless of the program, activity, membership or skill learned, the YMCA is here strengthening our community through value based programs and services.
