Why do we need a new Family Y when we already have many other public and private fitness centres in the region?
A. The Family Y has been serving our community since 1877 and the new Regional Recreation Centre will be the third Family Y facility to be built in response to changing community needs and with the support of the community. Surveys were undertaken to assess the need for a new Family Y and the support for it in the community. Based on this, and in conjunction with the City of Owen Sound, the Township of Georgian Bluffs, and the Municipality of Meaford, the vision for the new Regional Recreation Centre came into being. Other centres in our region work with their own client groups in their own ways. The Family Y’s approach is to work with people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and financial situations. As a charity, the Family Y fundraises to provide financial assistance so that low income is not a barrier for participation. Over the Y’s history, it has addressed and responded to the needs of people throughout the Grey and Bruce region. The new aquatic centre will also greatly improve
