2010 YMCA of Edmonton Annual Report Message from the YMCA Board Chair and CEO We become what we think about and what we talk about… In 2000 our YMCA developed, approved and launched its 10-year plan. 2010 marked the completion of that plan. How did we do over this past decade? • We set out to double the number of people served by our YMCA to 90,000. We achieved 85,000. • Our $5.3 million expansion of the Jamie Platz Family YMCA in 2003 doubled the number of people served in that branch to over 7,000. • The opening of our $26 million Don Wheaton Family YMCA late in 2007 grew our membership in downtown Edmonton by nearly 400% to 5,000. • Our child care operation has grown by 300%, serving nearly 3,000 children in our 33 centres in the Capital Region and the community of Grande Prairie. • We upgraded our Castle Downs and William Lutsky Family YMCA Centres to stay relevant and serve more families. We now serve more than 14,000 members in the two branches. • We have continued to develop partnerships; new memorandums of understanding (MOUs) have been signed with Capital Region Housing Corporation, Edmonton Catholic Schools, the Town of Beaumont, Tribal Chiefs Venture Inc. and the YMCA of Wood Buffalo. • In partnership with the City of Edmonton, Housing and Urban Affairs, Capital Region Housing Corporation and the Boyle Street Community League, we completed our many years of planning for our progressive housing and community revitalization initiative and construction of the YMCA Welcome Village is now underway. When completed in 2012, more than 300 families and individuals will be housed. This is our role in the 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness in our community.

These achievements are a testament to a very large committed team of volunteers, donors and staff members who helped to articulate a vision that, at the time, many of us felt almost impossible to achieve. But through many conversations, plans were developed, resources were found and the vision became a reality. It is with a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation to a long list of individuals and organizations in the community that we end 2010. The belief, commitment and personal investment of time, talent and treasure was the brick and mortar of all that the Y has accomplished.

Our discussion now turns to the next 10 years. We are refreshing our strategic plan. Our conversations are informed by new realities, both nationally and locally. The success of the YMCA is achieved through the engagement of the community. We look forward to the input that will ensure the relevance of our YMCA for the next decade. Our words can and will shape our future.

Doug Schindel Franco Savoia YMCA Board Chair YMCA President & CEO

Words into Action The YMCA of Edmonton: A History in Confronting Homelessness A perennial figure in our city’s fight against homelessness, the YMCA of Edmonton has provided housing to people in need since 1908. The original downtown facility, beyond being the first YMCA fitness centre to open in Edmonton, also provided housing to individuals, couples and families seeking temporary shelter. And while the old fitness centre was eventually closed in favour of the four family fitness centres found across the city, the YMCA of Edmonton continues to provide housing through the downtown building.

When it first opened, the Downtown YMCA contained forty bedrooms and served single young men, most of them newcomers to the city. Since then, the facility has grown to accommodate a wide range of individuals who require safe, affordable and flexible accommodation. Today, the 106-room, four-floor housing facility also assists women, families, tourists and individuals with physical and mental needs. The needs for supportive housing vary from resident to resident; some may only stay for a night or two while others may stay a few months while they look for work or recover from a personal crisis. Others still may require housing on a more long-term basis due to special needs that might interfere with their capacity to be self-sufficient.Regardless of who they are or what their needs might be, the YMCA of Edmonton will continue to be a refuge for individuals and families that require shelter, support and guidance.

Fully committed to ending homelessness in Edmonton, the YMCA of Edmonton continues to work with community organizations and the various levels of government in discussing housing policy, funding, and action related to improving housing services and programs. The YMCA of Edmonton is, or has been, active on the City of Edmonton Task Force to End Homelessness, the Edmonton Coalition on Housing and Homelessness, the Shelter Opinion Strategies and the United Way’s community consultations regarding homelessness.

Presently, the YMCA of Edmonton is working with the City of Edmonton, Capital Region Housing Corporation and the Boyle Street Community League in the construction of phase one of the Boyle Renaissance, a community that will introduce affordable housing and a range of services and programs into the Boyle Street area. The YMCA of Edmonton is currently engaged in a fund-raising campaign to gain capital support for its part of the project, the YMCA Welcome Village. The Welcome Village consists of a 150-unit affordable housing facility, a licensed YMCA Child Care Centre and a YMCA Family Resource Centre.

The YMCA Welcome Village is one of the YMCA of Edmonton’s most ambitious projects yet—a collaborative solution to address the issue of vulnerable housing in Edmonton. It is a holistic approach, and one that addresses the needs of an individual beyond their immediate need for housing. With services and programs in place to offer a far-reaching support network for community residents and downtown Edmontonians, the YMCA Welcome Village will be a vibrant and sustainable addition to the Edmonton community.

2010 YMCA of Edmonton Annual Report YMCA Welcome Village Groundbreaking

On November 24, 2010, the YMCA of Edmonton, together with the City of Edmonton, the Province of Alberta, Capital Region Housing and the Boyle Street Community League, participated in the groundbreak for Phase 1 of the Boyle Renaissance, a $42.5 million community redevelopment project.

There to turn the first sod wereJane Batty, Ward 6 Councillor; Jonathan Denis, Minister of Alberta Housing and Urban Affairs;Jackson Roth (child care participant); Franco Savoia, YMCA of Edmonton’s President and CEO; Mayor Stephen Mandel; and Thim Choy, Boyle Street Community League President.

The construction of Phase 1 is projected to be completed in early summer 2012.

“The YMCA of Edmonton is thankful for the support it has received for its vision of the Welcome Village: a centre of the community where families, couples and single adults are warmly welcomed and have the supports they need,” said Franco Savoia. “Without the support of our many partners and supporters, this vision could not have been realized.”

Words into Action Child Care Continues to Grow Children are like sponges – they watch and absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them. That’s why YMCA child care programs focus on holistically nurturing child development by providing a safe and healthy place to learn foundational skills, develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-reliance through the YMCA values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

2010 was another busy year in child care for the YMCA of Edmonton. Due to overwhelming demand for quality child support in the area, four new YMCA Child Care Centres opened up in the St. Albert, Terwillegar, Rutherford and Carlton areas as requested by the Edmonton Catholic and Public School Systems. This brings the total to 33 YMCA Child Care Centres serving over 3,000 children in the Edmonton Capital Region and Grande Prairie.

A national leader in non-profit child care, the YMCA Child Care Centres are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids, the need children have to feel connected and supported in trying new things, and the caring and reinforcement parents and families need to help each other. Parents can leave their children with the peace of mind knowing that they are in the care of professional workers at a fully accredited and licensed facility.

Additionally, every YMCA Child Care facility undergoes the lengthy accreditation process, a voluntary process that requires great dedication from the child care staff and guarantees the highest level of quality in child care. An accredited centre surpasses the standards required for provincial licensing and receives extra funding, money that goes towards further enriching the experience of the child by improving facility equipment, providing extra-curricular activities and assisting in the professional development of staff.

In YMCA Child Care Centres, babies develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world, and school-age kids make friends and learn new skills. Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves, making for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.

2010 YMCA of Edmonton Annual Report YMCA World Council—The World Comes Together In August 1855, just eleven years after George Williams founded the YMCA in London, England, the first YMCA World Council occurred. Initiated by Henry Dumont, the Secretary of YMCA Geneva who would later go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize, the World Council was an opportunity to allow YMCAs to come together from across the world to share ideas and collaborate. Held in Paris, the first conference took place over five days and involved almost one hundred delegates from nine countries.It was a critical chapter in the history of the YMCA, foreshadowing the rise and growth of the organization as a truly international movement.

Fast forward to 2010, where the YMCA World Council is now in its 17th iteration, and the number of people in attendance has grown exponentially. Hosted by the Hong Kong YMCA, this year’s World Council saw 900 delegates from over 85 countries participate. Three representatives from the YMCA of Edmonton made the long journey to take part in the conference, joining their fellow Canadian colleagues to make up the 35-member delegation from . The three participants consisted of Janet Giles, Vice President of Management Resource Centre for the Prairie YMCAs; Carlo Dimailig, a youth leader at the Castle Downs Family YMCA; and John Lilley, Past Chair of the YMCA of Edmonton Board of Directors.

Occurring only once every four years, the YMCA World Council is a special opportunity for YMCAs to address global issues, like poverty, hunger, climate change, and gender equity. With its emphasis on promoting youth advocacy and leadership, the World Council provides a platform for aspiring future leaders to take part in an international dialogue and help chart the course of the YMCA into the new millennium. Amir Dossal, Executive Director of the UN Office for Partnerships and keynote speaker for the event, had this to say: “It is the indispensable work of organizations like the YMCA that truly make Millenium Development Goals possible. Especially in the digital age, youth movements are among the most dynamic actors in creating positive change.” The YMCA of Edmonton is proud to have attended the YMCA World Council and be a part of this fantastic collaboration on international advocacy and youth development.

Words into Action YMCA Ukraine—Making Something From Nothing In 2009, the YMCA of Edmonton and the YMCA of Winnipeg joined the YMCA of Calgary in their international partnership with YMCA Ukraine. YMCA Ukraine has been in existence since 1993 and has gone through many iterations; they now have a national office & 19 local YMCAs to serve a population of over 2 million people. All of the YMCAs in Ukraine are run solely by volunteers; there are 3 paid staff in the country. There areno YMCA owned buildings, so programming is delivered on an outreach basis and done wherever they can find space.

The Ukraine organization has evolved in structure and democratic processes and the 3 Canadian YMCAs are currently partnering in the cities of Lviv, Lutsk and Verkhovyna. In September 2010, Annalise Yuzda, General Manager of YMCA Child Care, travelled to Ukraine along with 4 others from Winnipeg and Calgary to attend their Annual General Meeting and to observe the programming in action. Main programming includes: • Youth Leadership • HIV-AIDS prevention (Despite an overall slowdown in the spread of HIV in the world, in countries like Ukraine, the prevalence of HIV continues to grow - largely due to a lack of targeted prevention programs.) • Scouting as a system of educating a person • Ten Sing (This is a youth work method with an emphasis on the performing arts, youth empowerment, diversity and open- mindedness.) • Camps • Sports (Floorball, Aikido) • Social local projects “With practically no resources, the YMCA Ukraine has literally made something from nothing… what an experience!” - Annalise Yuzda

2010 YMCA of Edmonton Annual Report YMCA Youth Exchange—A Unique Partnership From July 25th to the 30th, 2010, sixteen youth from the YMCA Youth Exchange program—eight from YMCA of Edmonton and eight from the Mississauga, Ontario YMCA—took part in an important home building project established through a special partnership between the YMCA and Habitat for Humanity. Recruited by YMCA Youth Advisors, these sixteen youth came from various YMCA programs such as YTP (Youth Transitions Program) and ASIST (Alternative Suspension Program) as well as through the YMCA Family Centres. The youth raised funds to support a construction project in and participated in the building of the home by providing a portion of the labour. “I just realized I’m building some kid’s closet. That’s so cool.” -YMCA Youth Exchange Participant
