More than ever, the Board of Directors of the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka are committed to building a new kind of Y in Downtown Barrie - a community hub where everyone belongs and can thrive.
The commitment of $29.9 million from the Provincial Government, paired with previous commitments from our generous donors and the County of Simcoe, brings us that much more closer to achieving this goal. We are currently working with the City of Barrie to assess if the property adjacent to the downtown branch of the Barrie Public Library will meet the needs of the community. We are excited by the potential this site brings: it is central to downtown and is in close proximity to so many of our community partners.
In addition to traditional YMCA health, fitness and aquatics programs, we are committed to bringing licensed child care to the downtown core, working with our partners at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre and Youth Haven, and to collaborate with new partners to serve the people of Barrie better.
To support our efforts to build a new YMCA Community Hub in Downtown Barrie, please consider making a donation.
We would like to keep you up to date as we move forward with our new Barrie Y! Join our mailing list today.
