Making healthy, active living simple and fun!
Healthy Fun for the Whole Family
Your partner in raising healthy, active kids
Leading a healthy, active lifestyle can seem like an overwhelming hurdle. Time, energy and resources are
common barriers that prevent many families from being more active. As your partner in raising healthy, active
kids, we can show you how easy it is to incorporate physical activity into your life. So grab your running shoes
and join us on YMCA Healthy Kids Day!
Morning Wake-up
Start the day by joining our family fitness class
and see how simple it is to be active together!
It starts with basketball
Basketball at the YMCA is more than just
a game. It’s a way for people to build life skills and
find the motivation to achieve their dreams.
YLI Café
Designed and led by youth! Drop by and enjoy
a refreshment and some entertainment while
supporting youth in Oakville!
The dream
Sports Play
Ball hockey, basketball, soccer, skateboarding
and more! Discover how sports can help kids
stay active, gain confidence and even do better
in school!
Supporting Youth Development
With a special focus on children and youth, YMCA
programs help to tackle the common barriers
people face when trying to improve their physical
and mental health. This May, we’re proud to support
National Youth Week and Mental Health Week!

Raising Healthy Kids Together
As a YMCA, we believe that healthy kids are the foundation
and future of a healthier community. This is why every year we
welcome families to YMCA Healthy Kids Day to create awareness
of the importance of raising healthy kids and to share simple tools
and resources to help parents create a healthier lifestyle for the
whole family.
As a charity, we also ensure that everyone in our community
has access to YMCA programs that help them become healthier,
stronger and more resilient. If you, or someone you know know,
would benefit from financial assistance, we can help.
