Finding Joy and Connection at the Jery MaCcraw Family YMCA
The YMCA offers a cheerful and welcoming environment. With excellent instructors and a vibrant atmosphere, it’s a great place to meet new people and build friendships. For newcomers to Canada who may be missing family and friends, the YMCA provides a space to recharge emotionally through sports and uplifting activities. Personally, on days when I can’t make it there, I truly miss it — it’s become a meaningful part of my daily life.

The pool and men's upgraded change room -, no children is great.
But the magnetic card activated lock malfunctions frequently and I've witnessed people sneaking in. I've told them at the front desk but apparently it's been an ongoing issue. It really should be repaired. Other that that, I enjoy the venue.
