The first Canadian YMCA was founded in 1851 in Montreal. Since that day, YMCAs across the country have proudly been serving people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities in Canada. Throughout YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka, vital programs and services continue to be delivered over 170 years later.
reflect the aspirations of the communities we serve and the rich history and service of the YMCA over the past 170 years in Canada. From Alliston to Parry Sound, Collingwood to Gravenhurst, and everywhere in between, the communities we are in are each a distinct part of who we are and what we achieve.
While the Y came to Canada in 1851 as the Young Men’s Christian Association, over time our Federation has evolved to serve all Canadians, including all religions, ages, and genders. While we are no longer affiliated with the Christian Church, our roots are reflected in our values of kindness, integrity, inclusiveness, respect, and optimism, and guide us as we foster a sense of belonging for all. In Canada, the YMCA is a charity where everyone is welcome.
When first established, Y. M. C. A. was an acronym for Young Men’s Christian Association. While you will still find that some YMCAs around the world still use this full name, many, including all YMCAs in Canada, are known simply as the YMCA. This reflects our commitment to serving people of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and abilities through all stages of life.
