What's
New?
The YMCA of Belleville and Quinte and the YMCA of Peterborough have
joined together as one YMCA to better serve their communities. The
new "YMCA of Central East Ontario", serves Belleville,
Peterborough, the City of Quinte West and the surrounding communities
and towns throughout Hastings and Prince Edward County and the County
of Peterborough. Integrating the two YMCAs is a way to serve more
children and families in schools and neighbourhoods, help families
come together, enable individuals to become healthier and help people
overcome barriers to employment. "By joining forces, we are
echoing the trend seen in many parts of Ontario and Canada, where
neighbouring YMCAs are collaborating and coming together to make
better use of resources and enhance their services to their communities,"
said Bob Gallagher, President and CEO of the YMCA of Central East
Ontario.

A Table
for Canada's YMCA Read
More
A unique boardroom table made entirely from mementos and artifacts
donated by YMCAs across Canada was recently completed and has a
permanent home at YMCA Canada's office in Toronto. Two furniture
designers and craftsmen - twin brothers Lars and Jason Dressler
of Brothers
Dressler - have crafted this beautiful and highly-unusual table
using close to 100 significant artifacts for Canada's YMCA. For
the contribution from the YMCA of Belleville and Quinte please see
page 26/27 of the 43 page pdf document. The youtube video is a slideshow
collection of photographs taken during the assembly of the table.
Our contribution figures prominently in these photographs. The table
is a tangible example of how YMCAs work together; each YMCA Association
serves the unique needs of their community, and united, the work
of Canada's YMCAs is more impactful.
