We’ve been talking to people for a number of years about what matters to them. People want to raise healthy kids. They want their teens to be confident and supported. People want to be active. And most of all, people want to feel connected to one another and have a sense of belonging in their own community.

 

We also know that:

• Parents of all income levels and backgrounds say they need help

• High rates of inactivity, obesity and chronic disease are on the rise

• 300,000+ people in Metro Vancouver report they are socially isolated

 

That’s why the YMCA is working with people all across the Lower Mainland to build four new centres of community in Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Surrey City Centre and South Vancouver. By working together, we will be able to provide urgently needed services to more people so that we all can reach our potential. 

 

First up is Chilliwack. Check out what’s in store in this fantastic centre due to open in early 2019.
