YMCA 2020-2021 Annual Report

From the Board Chair and the CEO

2021 was another challenging year. YMCA NL started the year by continuing to persevere through the COVID-19 pandemic. As more of the population was vaccinated and provincial Alert Levels decreased, we were able re-open closed facilities and shift to more in-person programming.

Near the end of the year we were able to focus efforts on planning how we will re-imagine YMCA NL and emerge from the pandemic, while still recognizing there may be more waves and more times when we will need to persevere.

2021 marked some significant achievements:

  • Operations were maintained and started to recover in all parts of the organization in this second year of the pandemic. In St. John’s and Marystown membership started to grow again, in Happy Valley-Goose Bay membership has exceeded expectations; we thank staff and volunteers in all three branches for overcoming the many challenges we faced. Regulated child care operated at full capacity, and Employment, Enterprise, and Newcomer Services continued to adapt and grow

  • After seven years of steady work, the new Central Labrador YMCA opened in July. This is our first permanent presence in Labrador and is Canada’s first Northern YMCA. We are delighted to work with the Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay to serve the people of the Upper Lake Melville Region for decades to come

  • The capital structure for the Ches Penney Family YMCA was re-financed to take advantage of the low interest rates available

  • YMCA NL joined the province’s Operating Grant Program (OGP) to make regulated child care more affordable for families at all 14 of our child care locations

  • Our Employment, Enterprise, and Newcomer Services programs continued to expand thanks to additional federal and provincial government contracts

We appreciate on-going the federal, provincial, and community support to help sustain the YMCA through the pandemic.

We thank our employees, volunteers, members, participants, funders, municipal partners with the Town of Marystown and the Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, donors, and Directors for on-going support in service to communities across Newfoundland and Labrador.

Our vision for a province of vibrant, healthy communities could not be realized without so many dedicated people.

Thank you for being a part of the YMCA.
