It was a pleasure to welcome MP Dominique O’Rourke to one of our Guelph child care and day camp locations.

Through the Canada Summer Jobs program, four students at our Guelph location are gaining valuable experience as Early Childhood Educators while helping meet the growing child care needs of local families. Our youngest YMCA members were excited to say thank you too, presenting MP O'Rourke with some handmade cards.

Thank you, MP Dominique O’Rourke, for your support of programs that help young people build skills and strengthen our communities!
