Opening Update
As we continue to put the finishing touches on the Tamack North Centre, it has become clear that we still need a little more time before we can welcome everyone inside. While the building is substantially complete, we want your first look at the Centre to be the full experience that we’ve been planning for. That means that the ceremonial opening and community open house planned for this Thursday, October 8 will be rescheduled to a future date.
We know many of you were looking forward to getting your first look inside the Centre, and we apologize that we won’t be able to welcome you in this week, but we are looking forward to doing just that very soon.
We don’t have a new opening date to share just yet. We’ll share an update next week after the Thanksgiving weekend as we continue to work toward opening.
Presale pricing offers will continue until opening day. Register using our YMCA online portal or get help with your registration by contacting our YMCA Community Care team at [email protected] or 705-792-7822. In person pre-sales are not available at this time.
Thank you for your patience!

FAQs
How do YMCA Memberships work?
Our memberships are priced individually, with customized rates for adults, seniors, and children and youth. This flexible membership model lets you create the membership bundle that works for you. For every membership you add beyond your own – you save on rates! Plus, with our YMCA financial assistance program, cost isn’t a barrier to participation because we never turn away an interested member because of an inability to pay the full fee.
What's included in a YMCA membership?
Memberships are designed to be simple and all inclusive, with fitness, aquatics, programs, classes, and more included. Come for the things you already love and maybe discover something new along the way!
