Update

Following today’s announcement that our region is able to enter the Yellow phase of recovery, we are happy to announce the following changes that will be implemented as of Monday, March 8, 2021.

We’d like to give everyone an update regarding the status of our YMCA

We’d like to give everyone an update regarding the status of our YMCA since we shuttered our health, fitness and aquatics services. As you are aware, we decided to shutter our fitness programming and facilities on January 6th in reaction to the province moving to the Orange Level. Since then, the Moncton area moved to the Red Level which was much more restrictive. As announced February 8th, the Moncton area will move back to the Orange Level. This is encouraging news for our community.
