www.imagineourymca.ca Message from the Chair & CEO

We can see the potential.

2013 was yet another year of record growth for our YMCA. We reached out and supported more than 108,000 people through a growing collection of programs, sites and facilities in 178 locations.

64% of these people were kids.

This is critical as trends show that this is the first generation of children in modern history to inherit a lower life expectancy than their parents. Healthy kids are the foundation and future for building healthy communities. In 2013, we helped 69,444 kids grow healthier, stronger and more confident, supporting them in realizing their potential through meaningful engagement with their family, friends and peers.

But we don’t stop with kids. Our Y recognizes that healthy kids can’t exist without healthy adult role models and active and engaged communities. Our portfolio of programs address complex issues and help people to realize the best in themselves. Our programs are organized into three main themes: nurturing the potential of children, teens and young adults; promoting healthy living; and fostering a sense of belonging and connection to community.

2013 was a reflection of the character of our YMCA and its people. The contributions of our donors, volunteers, partners, members and staff give us reason to look to the future with great optimism. Our YMCA is based upon thousands of people making their individual contributions to a collective purpose—to help people realize their potential. Together, we make our communities better places to live, for our families, our neighbours and ourselves. If 2013 is indication of the power of that purpose; the best is yet to come in 2014 and beyond.
