The YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka is delighted to welcome the community back for free Community Days this June, made possible by the generous support of the ParticipACTION Community Challenge grant. Every Saturday throughout the month, all five YMCA Health, Fitness, and Aquatics centres in Collingwood, Gravenhurst, Innisfil, Midland, and Wasaga Beach, will open their doors to everyone, free of charge.
Community Days are about more than fitness; they aim to improve the community’s physical and mental well-being. By offering free day passes to people of every age and ability, the Y hopes to help neighbours feel stronger, more connected, and healthier. From group classes and open swims to individual fitness, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re already familiar with the YMCA or are visiting for the first time, these passes provide a wonderful opportunity to explore what the Y has to offer.
“We are deeply grateful to ParticipACTION for this generous grant, which allows us to host Community Days and help remove financial barriers to health and wellness,” said Jill Tettmann, President & CEO of the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka. “At the YMCA, we believe everyone deserves the chance to grow and thrive — physically, emotionally, and socially. These free passes reflect our commitment to creating inclusive, supportive spaces where every member of the community can shine.”
Community Days are part of the YMCA’s ongoing mission to strengthen communities and promote healthy, active lifestyles. Visitors to the YMCA during the month of June can participate in a variety of activities tailored for individuals, families, and groups. For local program schedules, visit www.ymcaofsimcoemuskoka.ca/schedules.
Getting started is easy. Residents can drop by their local YMCA in Collingwood, Gravenhurst, Innisfil, Midland, or Wasaga Beach on Saturday, June 6, 13, 20, or 27. You can also grab your free day pass online at www.YMCAOnlinePortal.ca — no code required.
