About us
We’ve always been dedicated to helping people attain good health through a healthy lifestyle and encouraging them to get involved in making their community a better place for everyone. Our concept of health focuses on prevention, rehabilitation, self-management and the social support needed to grow in spirit, mind and body. In everything that we do, we try to inspire a sense of responsibility to each other and the global community. We believe in leveraging the power of one for the benefit of the collective good. The YMCA provides values-based programs and services that teach the importance of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and inclusiveness. It’s a place where friendships are formed and family ties are strengthened. A YMCA is a centre of community where people meet and discover common needs or interests. To reach as many people as we can, the YMCA offers financial assistance to those who would otherwise be unable to benefit from its services. To accomplish this work, the YMCA relies on the support of its communities, the private sector, governments and other agencies to in turn, help others.

🌍 Tuesday Trend Series 🌍 As part of the Future of Belonging Project, the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka and Social Innovation at Georgian College are exploring the complex relationship between economic pressures and the need for belonging and well-being. Trend 6 – Get Rich or Die Trying: The Costs of Belonging Highlights: The erosion of the Canadian Dream has increased the tension between economic demands and the desire for belonging. Achieving work-life balance is harder as capitalism prioritizes financial gain over well-being. The rise of “quiet quitting” reflects a growing disillusionment with the relentless pursuit of economic success. Economic pressures are contributing to loneliness and mental health challenges. A movement is emerging to prioritize mental health and meaningful social connections over economic success. Stay tuned as we continue exploring the evolving nature of belonging in today’s world! #FutureOfBelonging #MentalHealth #EconomicPressures #WorkLifeBalance #YMCA
