National Indigenous History Month is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the histories, cultures, voices, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. It is also a meaningful time to reflect on the importance of truth, reconciliation, and consistent action toward a more equitable future.

At YMCA, we continue to deepen our understanding of Indigenous histories, perspectives, and experiences. Through ongoing learning and relationship building, we remain dedicated to fostering spaces where Indigenous voices, cultures, and experiences are honoured and uplifted.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength and brilliance of YMCA staff, volunteers, members, participants, donors, and partners who are part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

The YMCA continues to be committed to creating welcoming, inclusive spaces where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported to be their authentic selves. While progress has been made, there is still important work ahead, and we remain dedicated to advancing equity, belonging, and well-being for all.

A good class can change your whole day.

The music picks up. The instructor pushes you. The people around you keep moving, and suddenly, you are too.

That’s what makes group fitness so powerful

It’s movement, motivation, and community all in one place.

Jordan’s Run the Runway St. Thomas-Elgin is almost here, and this isn’t just another 5K; it’s your chance to run or walk an actual airport runway, show up with your people, and be part of something that makes a real difference close to home.

Run it. Walk it. Cheer it. Fundraise for it. Volunteer for it.

However you take part, we want you there.

Let’s fill the runway ▶️ https://raceroster.com/events/2026/114054/jordans-run-the-runway-5k-series-st-thomas-elgin

Our Strength & Stretch class at 7:15 PM has been cancelled tonight.
Join us instead for Group Power at 6:00 PM and get your workout in with us!
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you there! 😊
