We are so pleased that the Canada-Ontario child care agreement has been extended for 4 years - and that the announcement took place at The David Braley YMCA in Vaughan. Together, we can continue to build a child care system that is affordable, sustainable, and there for families

Reconciliation is a work in progress—not a finish line. Our President & CEO, Peter Dinsdale, joined BMO’s Sustainability Leaders podcast to discuss the YMCA’s reconciliation journey, partnership with Indigenous communities, and the work ahead. 🎧 https://t.co/x87kBQf7SS

Day 5 was all about inspiring leadership and celebrating impact 🚀 Chris Hadfield challenged us to think bigger, breakouts sparked new ideas, and we honoured changemakers through the YMCA Impact Awards & Change Agents graduates. Then: Canada House Ontario at the @agotoronto

Dr. Marie Wilson's keynote set the tone, then delegates gathered for our group photo and breakout sessions on youth employment, peacemaking, AI innovation & more. We also celebrated 175 years of YMCA Canada with a ceremonial cake cutting! Then, Canada House Québec 🔥

Another incredible day at the 21st YMCA World Council!

Delegates explored Toronto, connected with local communities, and experienced YMCA impact through excursions. Ended the day the East Coast way - with an unforgettable Canada House full of hospitality, food, music, and fun!

Day 2 began in a meaningful way with an Indigenous welcome and the lighting of the Sacred Fire. We also heard reports from Soheila Hayek and Carlos Sanvee. Tonight, it's all aboard for Canada House West and an evening of Prairie and Western Canadian hospitality!

[YMCA Canada @YMCA_Canada]

What a start!

Delegates arrived from around the world, registration was buzzing, and the Watch Party brought everyone together.

Day one is complete, and an unforgettable week is officially underway!
