We help individuals and communities lead healthier lives.

The YMCA of Northeastern Ontario has been serving our local communities for over 180 years and we are committed to supporting our local families, children, adults, youth and seniors in our various programs and services today.

At the YMCA, our values and purpose drive everything that we do. As a charity, we’ve championed values of empathy, health, trustworthy, inclusiveness, respect and responsibility. Helping people develop a healthy spirit, mind and body and inspiring a sense of social responsibility is the cornerstone of our legacy of caring.

Our Commitement to Safeguarding Children

At the YMCA, the safety and well-being of children is our highest priority. We are deeply committed to safeguarding every child in our care by creating a secure, supportive, and respectful environment. Our staff and volunteers are trained to recognize and respond to concerns, and we take our Duty to Report seriously—acting promptly and responsibly whenever a child’s safety may be at risk. Through strong policies, ongoing training, and a culture of accountability, we work to ensure that every child feels safe, valued, and protected.
