It is our pleasure to present our 2017 Impact Report. This year’s report theme, “Gratitude”, represents the deep appreciation we feel for each of you—our members, donors, staff, volunteers and community partners—who have enabled us to impact the lives of over 37,000 individuals in 2017. It also reflects our thankfulness for the progress made in creating more vibrant YMCA centres of community where people of all ages and backgrounds are finding a sense of belonging and better health.
