Grant Recognition

The YMCA of Niagara is deeply grateful for the receipt of a $115,800 grant from the Government of Ontario’s Community Building Fund – Community Investments, facilitated by the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). This six-month grant from the community building fund was allocated to the replacement of the boiler at the Niagara West branch in Grimsby, to continue to safely offer services that make an impact in our community.⁠

The YMCA of Niagara is deeply grateful for funding from the Government of Canada’s Community Services Recovery Fund, which enables us to continue our mission of building healthy communities. With the enhanced HR processes, the organization is now better equipped to support its dedicated workforce, ensuring employees are empowered to consistently deliver high-quality programs and services to the local community. The positive impact of this modernization is far-reaching, benefitting the children, youth families, and individuals served by the YMCA of Niagara.⁠
