Rise and shine with the Y and BT!

17 November 2022 - by YMCA of Greater Toronto
If you're an early riser, you might've spotted us on CityTV's Breakfast Television (BT) last week. YMCA of Greater Toronto employees, volunteers and participants highlighted just some of our hundreds of programs and services to inspire you to see what you can achieve at the Y.

YMCA of Greater Toronto welcomes BT to Central YMCA

BT host Devo Brown worked out with members of a group fitness class and heard about our Try the Y offer. Then he joined students and teachers for a fun science experiment while learning about how the YMCA Academy empowers students who learn differently. Finally, he heard about job opportunities at the Y including first jobs as camp counsellors, lifeguards and child care educators while enjoying "breakfast" with our child care team and the children in their care.
