Refresh My Y

Membership Fee Update & Introducing “Refresh My Y”

At the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka, we are committed to providing welcoming, high-quality spaces, programs, and services that are accessible to all. As a charitable organization, this commitment is only possible through the continued support of our members and donors.

To help sustain and improve the experience you’ve come to expect, a modest membership rate adjustment will take effect starting October 1, 2025. This is our first adjustment since July 1, 2024, and reflects the rising costs of operating and maintaining our facilities.
