Y Turns 5
Let's Celebrate!
Join us on October 25, 2025 for a free day of family fun, activities, and community spirit as we celebrate five amazing years of being greater together.
From Friendly Neighbours to One Strong Family
Five years ago, the YMCAs of Guelph, Cambridge, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Stratford-Perth had a wonderful idea: what if we all teamed up? We knew that by joining together, we could share our best ideas, create more opportunities, and build an even stronger, more connected community for everyone to enjoy.
So we became the YMCA of Three Rivers, named for the beautiful rivers that unite us. Today, we celebrate five years of helping our communities shine, and we want to celebrate with you!
Fun for the whole family!
Get ready for a day packed with excitement for all ages! We're hosting celebrations at our YMCA locations across the region, and everyone is welcome. Whether you're a long-time member or visiting for the first time, we can't wait to share this special day with you.
You can look forward to:
Active Fun: Jump in the pool for a family swim or play some high-energy games in the gym!
Creative Corner: Get creative with kid-friendly activities, colouring stations, tattoos and face painting.
Community Spirit: Connect with friends and neighbours while enjoying a delicious anniversary cookie.
And so much more!
