OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, August 20, 2009 · 14 Our Mission The YMCA of Oakville is a charitable association open to all, dedicated to providing life-long opportunities for health enhancement and personal growth. SOLID AS A ROCK. What's unique about the Y is that it is a charity. Through our fee-assistance program in 2008, the YMCA of Oakville helped more than 1,300 individuals to participate in vital programs and services ­ people who might otherwise have not been able to be a part of the Y. We thank those who donated to the Strong Kids Campaign, which funds the Y's fee-assistance efforts. In a world where change is constant, where economic woes can deeply affect lives and communities, the YMCA of Oakville is solid as a rock. When it was founded more than 50 years ago, the YMCA of Oakville had a small, humble presence. But as the town grew, so did the Y. Today, the YMCA of Oakville is a steadfast member of the community, helping people to lead healthier lives through recreational and social activities. The Y delivers myriad programs in the community, runs an extensive day camp, and is the largest provider of day care in Oakville. In addition, the beautiful Y building on Rebecca Street is home to many partnership programs, such as the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program with Halton Healthcare Services. The YMCA of Oakville offers something to all the people of this town, no matter what stage of life they're in: a child in day camp, tae kwon do or swimming; a young family with a toddler who needs pre-school care; or a middle-aged or older person trying to live a healthy lifestyle, perhaps in the Cardiac Rehabilitation or Parkinson's program.
