How the YMCA of Greater Toronto stepped up in response to COVID-19
This week officially marks the one-year anniversary of our first temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Though this year has presented many challenges, we quickly and thoughtfully responded to the challenges we faced and the through it all we’ve been able to shine on.
Early in the pandemic, COVID-19 temporarily shuttered most of our 450 YMCA locations across the GTA. We sprang into action and worked around the clock to adapt our program and service offerings to meet the needs of those in our community. In the past year, we transitioned a number of programs and services online, launched new offerings, engaged in new partnerships and more to step up and support our communities.
By coming together – whether virtually or, when it’s once again safe to do so, in person – we can build up each and every one of us, and ensure that no one is left behind when we rebuild and recover from the pandemic. When we ignite the light, we all shine.
