YMCA Stories

CH Morning Live host Emily Vukovic visited our Flamborough Family YMCA on January 5, with the feature airing January 6. The visit offered viewers a look at how YMCA Hamilton | Burlington | Brantford supports wellbeing across Health, Fitness & Aquatics. Hosted by Emily Vukovic.

This holiday season, our YMCA community came together in an extraordinary way. 

With thanks to HWDSB students, the YMCA Men’s Residence is now stocked with hundreds of pounds of food and personal care kits, along with generous donations of toiletries, and clothing—amounting to more than 1,500 items.

For as long as he can remember, the YMCA has been a part of Joe Curto’s life. 

When Ken Geroux first walked through the doors of the YMCA on June 13, 1975, he wasn’t looking for community. He was looking for a heavy bag.

The Koshlong Current is a bi-annual newsletter dedicated to keeping campers and alumni up-to-date on what's happening at YMCA Wanakita. Hear from campers and staff, learn about improvements around camp, and discover why Wanakita will always be the place to have the time of your life. 

When Ann Francis first walked into the kitchen at YMCA Wanakita in July 1980, she didn’t know she’d still be there 45 years later. She certainly didn’t know that the camp tucked quietly into the Haliburton woods would become her second home, or that the people she met there would become family.

The YMCA Wanakita Staff Scholarship is offered annually to provide one or more YMCA Wanakita summer leadership staff support to pursue post-secondary education. 

Nestled deep in the Haliburton Highlands, YMCA Camp Wanakita is more than just a camp—it's a small town.
