YMCA Canada Annual Report 2013

“We are working together innew ways to make a positive impact on our shared goals of improving the health, and nurturing the potential, of people of all ages and abilities in communities across Canada.”

Bahadur Madhani, C.M. Chair, Board of Directors

Working together throughout 2013, we are proud that YMCAs and YMCA-YWCAs in Canada have made significant progress toward reaching our collective goals. Our Federation’s strategic plan, PLAN Y, details our vision for the Canada We Want and the YMCA We Need. Our plan’s focus on fostering safe, vibrant communities and healthy, active lifestyles requires a YMCA that is deeply rooted in the communities we serve.

All 50 of our Federation’s YMCA and YMCA-YWCA Member Associations are working together in new ways to make a positive impact on our shared goals of improving the health, and nurturing the potential, of people of all ages and abilities in communities across Canada. As we approach the mid-point of our strategic plan, our presence at the centre of Canadian communities continues to grow. We are serving more people and are focused on providing programs and services that are not only responsive to community needs, but have measurable impact in helping us become the Canada We Want.

On behalf of the National Board of YMCA Canada, we are pleased to share our Annual Report for 2013 with you; also available online at YMCACanada.ca

Introduction // page 1

2013 Federation Facts // page 2

Every day, people are discovering more potential – for themselves and their communities – through the YMCA. Here’s why that matters…

Our Federation of 45 YMCA and 5 YMCA-YWCA Member Associations serves Canadian communities from coast to coast. Through PLAN Y, we’re working together to create the YMCA We Need for the Canada We Want. We know that urgent action is needed to address our country’s growing inequality, poverty and health concerns.

Our promise is to strengthen the foundations of our communities. As a registered charity, the cause we’re dedicated to is helping people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities reach their potential.

See how and why the Y made a difference in 2013…

Measurable Outcomes

Why the Y matters:

Programs &Services

We believe transparent tracking of measurable and meaningful outcomes is essential to quantify the impact of our programs and services in supporting people and communities to reach their potential.

Key indicators range from health outcomes, to higher levels of school-readiness in children graduating from YMCA child care, to growing the number of low-income, Indigenous and new Canadians who access our offerings and successfully meet their education and employment goals.

The YMCA portfolio of programs and services addresses complex issues and helps Canadians grow stronger, healthier and more confident, to realize the best in themselves.

Our programs and services support three themes: • Nurturing the potential of children, teens and young adults; • Promoting healthy living; • Fostering social responsibility

Eliminating Barriers

Training and Support

Eliminating financial barriers by providing YMCA financial assistance is one significant measure of meaningful impact.

ion

The heart of the YMCA movement is our belief in human potential. Helping all people reach their full potential is not an abstract ideal. It comes to life every single day, in YMCAs across the country, through our commitment to:

Nurturing the potential of children, teens and young adults

Promoting healthy, active living

Fostering social responsibility

The stories featured in this report provide a snapshot of how YMCAs are uniquely equipped to help build the Canada We Want – one that’s ranked among the best in the world for the health and well-being of its children, teens, and young adults; and is respected internationally for its safe, vibrant communities, strong economy, and environmental sustainability.

Nurturing the Potential of Children, Teens and Young Adults // page 6

Nurturing the Potential of Children, Teens and Young Adults Healthy kids are the foundation and the future for building healthy communities. We help kids in Canada grow healthier, stronger and more confident, supporting them in realizing their potential through meaningful engagement with their family, friends and peers.

Here are some highlights from 2013:

they need to reach their full potential.


Preschool Child Care Survey As Canada’s largest not-for-profit child care provider, we work hard to ensure our programs and services meet the needs of preschoolers, providing care and creative learning opportunities in a safe and nurturing environment. To ensure that we are continuing to meet the needs of our youngest members and their families, and to inform our program development, we conducted a YMCA Preschool Child Care Survey in 2013. More than 90 per cent of parents felt that their children were well prepared for kindergarten because of their enrollment in a YMCA early learning program.

YMCA Strong Kids CampaignThe YMCA Strong Kids fundraising campaign was a success in 2013, with more than 58,000 donors generously donating $11.4 million! This represents a 9 per cent increase over the previous year, and meant we were able to provide financial assistance to 254,000 people who otherwise would not have been able to participate at their YMCA. Inspiring examples of fundraising events poured in from across the country, with Canadians continuing to demonstrate their commitment to our country’s children. In addition to their participation in local fundraising events, YMCAs across the country rallied around Craig Aucoin and Lloyd McLean’s “Craig Gives Back” tour: an 85-day, 8,200km bicycle tour across Canada in support of YMCA Strong Kids and two other charities: CNIB and Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Engaging Young Leaders in Federation Governance Supporting young people in achieving their full potential as volunteers and as leaders is a key priority for Canada’s YMCA. This year’s Annual General Meeting helped us formally cement the role of young leaders as representatives of their Association within our Federation’s governance. National Council accepted a report prepared by the Young Leaders Initiative on “Enhancing Youth Engagement of Young Leaders in Federation Governance,” and the bylaws were amended to add young leaders as Association representatives. Going forward, each Member Association’s delegation to the AGM will now include the Board Chair, CEO and a Young Leader.


The High Demand Youth Internship Program provided opportunities for established professionals to help post-secondary graduates build transferable skills, develop confidence, and benefit from guidance and support in the workplace. Responding to community needs, these paid, full-time internships were hosted in a wide variety of fields such as knowledge-based technology, digital skills, administration, and the environment. More than 200 youth participated in valuable learning experiences and became better prepared to establish themselves in their chosen career path. The program operated as a joint initiative between the YMCA of Greater Vancouver, the YMCA of Greater Toronto, Canada East YMCA Regional Development Centre and YMCA Canada, with the support of funding from the federal government.

High Demand Youth Internship Program

Fostering Skills in Collaboration and Global LeadershipAs a kick-off for the Canadian participants in the YMCA Global Change Agent program, part of a larger global initiative bringing together 200 young leaders from YMCAs across the globe, the 24 young leaders selected from Canadian YMCAs met together for the first time prior to the Young Leaders Forum and YMCA Canada’s Annual General Meeting. Each was later matched with one of 24 current and retired senior volunteers and staff from across Canada. These enthusiastic mentors are coaching, guiding and supporting their Global Change Agent mentees as they design a project that promotes youth engagement and global leadership.

In August, Canada’s Global Change Agents joined young leaders from 72 countries around the world in Prague during the Love2Live Festival organized by YMCA Europe. A highlight of the Global Change Agents’ week in Prague was a collective performance of a new YMCA Song, entitled “It’s Time.” These young leaders are working together to advance the Global YMCA’s Youth Empowerment Agenda , and will play a key leadership role at the YMCA 2014 World Council in Estes Park, Colorado in summer 2014.

Young Leaders Forum A highlight of the year was welcoming 60 young leaders from YMCAs across the country who participated in the Young Leaders Forum. Participants were highly engaged and excited to learn from each other, share information, and offer recommendations to shape future youth engagement opportunities for participants and members in YMCAs across Canada.


Promoting Healthy, Active Living // page 12

Promoting Healthy, Active LivingWe understand that healthy communities grow from healthy individuals and families. We provide holistic approaches to healthy, active living by identifying and responding to a range of community needs – from fitness, sports and aquatics for all ages and abilities; to food and nutrition programs; to chronic disease prevention and management initiatives.

Check out some highlights from 2013:

More Play Every DayRaising healthy children is every parent’s goal and at the YMCA, we focus on nurturing the potential of kids. We believe that helping young people grow up healthy makes our whole community stronger, so we promote healthy, active living in all our programs and at all our events. YMCA Healthy Kids Day took place in participating YMCAs and YMCA-YWCAs across the country on Sunday, June 2. We welcomed community members for free events that brought children, teens and their families together for a day of active fun and learning. YMCA Healthy Kids Day places special emphasis on teaching children, youth and their families about exploring healthy living habits that will make a difference throughout the year.

Jumpstart Partnership YMCAs in Canada were proud to partner with the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program to remove barriers so children could participate in organized sport and recreation at the Y. Canadian Tire describes the benefits of this valuable, nation-wide program as “equipping kids for life, because participation in organized sport and recreation increases a child’s chance for success in life. They discover and participate. They gain self-confidence. They develop self-esteem. They learn leadership skills. Their lives become richer.” This focus is aligned with the YMCA’s commitment to providing opportunities that nurture the potential of children, teens and young adults and we are pleased to be part of this program.

Partnering in Healthy Me Week YMCA Canada became a national community partner of Healthy Me Week this year. On May 29, the YMCA of Oakville hosted the national media launch for Healthy Me Week, featuring NBA player Tristan Thompson as national spokesperson. YMCA Healthy Kids Day kicked off Healthy Me Week, held June 2-8, across Canada. Made up of partners from across Canada’s media industry and other not-for-profit partners, Healthy Me Week communicates to children and their families the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle and provides access to information and resources to empower kids to make positive changes for their health.

Reducing Barriers for NewcomersAn innovative pilot program, designed to reduce visible and invisible barriers that are faced by immigrants and refugees, was launched. The YMCA of Greater Toronto, with funding from Citizenship and Immigration Canada, delivered “A Path to Home: Supporting Housing Needs for Newcomers”. Through a collaborative framework, the objectives of the pilot were to address the issues of homelessness in vulnerable newcomer population groups in Toronto, Edmonton and Fredericton. The three delivery sites for the program were: YMCA of Northern Alberta, COSTIImmigrant Services and the Multicultural Association of Fredericton.The pilot has surpassed all expectations and has been extended for an additional year. Nari and her family, for example, spent years living in a Bhutanese refugee camp in Nepal before moving to Canada through A Path to Home. They now have food, housing and are attending school to build better lives for themselves and their extended family.


Partnering to Promote Healthy Eating YMCA Canada, along with five other research, policy and practice partners, was one of four projects that was awarded a Canadian Partnership Against Cancer’s (CPAC) Coalitions Linking Action and Science for Prevention (CLASP) three-year funding grant. The project, “Private and Public Partners for Healthy Schools: Serving Up Healthy Eating in First Nations Schools, Other Schools and After-School Programs,” is about creating healthy food environments in schools and other after-school programs to improve student health behaviours. The YMCA portion of the project is to develop and implement a nutrition program and policy toolkit for after-school YMCA programs, to be piloted in approximately 25 after-school sites operated by the YMCA of Regina, YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka, and the YMCA of Greater Moncton.


Promoting Physical ActivityPartnering with AIR MILES® for Social Change and the Public Health Agency of Canada, we launched a pilot program at 15 YMCA locations to see whether incentives help people start and/or maintain positive changes in their physical activity. Members are able to earn AIR MILES® reward miles for purchasing a membership, visiting the YMCA, or for registering their child for summer day camp. The four participating YMCAs who are part of this one-year pilot program focusing on promoting physical activity are the YMCA of Greater Moncton, YMCA of Oakville, YMCA of Greater Toronto, and YMCA Calgary. Initial results have been encouraging: 63 per cent of participating YMCA members increased visits when offered AIR MILES® reward miles; 18 per cent of these increased visits were by children and youth. This increase was of particular importance because of our interest in encouraging physical activity among children and youth.

Fostering Social ResponsibilityWe know that when we work collaboratively, we can help people make their communities better places to live, for themselves and their neighbours. In 2013 we came together to support others in the following ways:

YMCA Peace WeekYMCA Peace Week, held Nov. 16 to 23, highlighted multiple dimensions of peace and how peace is expressed in many ways – big and small – in communities across Canada. Throughout the week, we heard wonderful stories about child care centre art projects, music celebrations, blogs promoting community and peaceful ideals – a wide range of initiatives that made a difference to Canadians’ sense of social responsibility and connection to their communities. YMCA Peace Medallion events honoured 95 people who, without any special resources, demonstrated a commitment to peace in Canada and overseas.

Educational AwardsSupporting skills development and learning opportunities allows the YMCA to nurture potential and support the goals of YMCA members, staff, volunteers and participants who are enrolled in educational programs. YMCA Canada manages and offers five awards: J.H. Gundy Award; S.J. Moore Award; Donald S. McCuaig Leadership Development Award; Rix Rodgers Community Builders Award; Mary and Murray Shantz YMCA Leadership Development Program; and the C.F. Basil Tippet Volunteer Award. In addition, the Alexander Scholarship Fund Award is offered by the Area Canada and Caribbean of Y’s Men International.

Canadians Provide Support in Time of NeedFollowing the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, Canadians – through Canada’s Ys – raised thousands of dollars to assist those in need. YMCA Canada collected funds on behalf of all YMCAs in Canada, and forwarded more than $45,000 in donations to the YMCA of Philippines Emergency Appeal. Donations that met the criteria were matched by the Government of Canada’s Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund. We were touched by the stories of people reaching out to help, including a group of students from A.G. Baillie Memorial Elementary school in New Glasgow, NS. Nine-year-old Hannah was inspired to help and she, along with her brothers, presented a fundraising idea to their school. Students quickly joined in, and sent us messages as well as the $1,300 they raised to assist those in need.

4Rs Youth MovementIn 2013, the YMCA supported a youth movement that will change Canada by changing the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous young people. The YMCA joined four other national youth-serving organizations (YWCA Canada, Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada, Big Brothers/Big Sisters Canada and Pathways to Education Canada), six National Indigenous Organizations (Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, Métis National Council, Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, National Association of Friendship Centres and Native Women’s Association of Canada), and three funders (J.W. McConnell Family Foundation, Community Foundations of Canada and Inspirit Foundation of Canada) to bring young leaders together. The group of 25 young leaders, nominated by the above organizations, decided on the name 4Rs to describe the concept of positive change being “for our” future, collectively.


YMCA Fellowship of HonourThirteen outstanding individuals, recognized for their tremendous leadership toward our mission and expanding the capacity of the YMCA in Canada, received the YMCA’s highest honour at an investiture ceremony for the YMCA Fellowship of Honour at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. The event was presided over by His Excellency, the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada. His Excellency personally congratulated appointees and shared his view that “the YMCA offers us an extraordinary example of that which has long been right and good about our country – that is, the tendency of Canadians to be concerned for others, and to want to help.”


Remembering Nelson MandelaAlong with the rest of the world, Canadians mourned the passing of Nelson Mandela on December 5, 2013. YMCAs in Canada were honoured to be asked by the Canadian Friends of Nelson Mandela to facilitate a way for the public to express their gratitude and pay tribute to Mr. Mandela. From the day the world learned of Mr. Mandela’s passing until his state funeral on December 15, the YMCAs of Greater Vancouver, Northern BC, Greater Toronto, Niagara, Quebec, and Fredericton, and the YMCA-YWCAs of Winnipeg and the National Capital Region offered spaces for members of their communities to express their thoughts and memories of Mr. Mandela in memorial books. Thousands of community members came to the Y to share stories and remembrances with each other, in some cases lining up by the hundreds to do so. As a centre of community, the YMCA was honoured to be able to offer places for the public to gather, connect and pay tribute to Mr. Mandela as a great visionary and global leader.

As a young man training to be a boxer, Nelson Mandela worked out at his local YMCA in Soweto. The relationship between the YMCA in Canada and South Africa has continued for many years: the Canadian YMCA has a longstanding relationship with YMCAs in Africa, including the YMCA in South Africa, which is a partner of the YMCA of Niagara. As partners, we have worked together to strengthen communities. The YMCA’s mission is aligned with Mr. Mandela’s moral leadership and vision: a focus on caring and nurturing of children and youth; shared values of fostering peaceful coexistence and reconciliation; mutual respect and understanding of all peoples; and promoting a sense of belonging and connection to the community as a whole.

Collaborating as Associations // page 24

Collaborating as AssociationsYMCA Member Associations are working together more than ever before, in new and exciting ways. In 2013 we collectively strengthened our Federation in many ways, including:



Undercover Boss CanadaStu, Kielan, Andrew and Jamie, employees from four YMCAs, were featured on the television program “Undercover Boss Canada.” Each episode of the show features an executive of a major Canadian organization who is transformed into a frontline worker with a covert “undercover boss” disguise and backstory. YMCA Canada’s President and CEO Scott Haldane donned a hairpiece and a new wardrobe, and worked closely with CEOs Steve Butz, Sharon Peterson and Helene Weir to go undercover at the YMCA of Greater Vancouver’s Robert Lee YMCA and YMCA After School Care; the YMCA of Okanagan’s YMCA Silver Lake Camp; and YMCA Calgary’s Eau Claire YMCA.

Scott says his undercover operation was eye-opening and inspirational. “What I experienced with the employees I met were people who want to make a difference in other people’s lives,” says Scott. “And that’s what we’re really looking for; that’s what the organization is all about.”

We Never Met a Kid Whose Potential We Couldn’t SeeOur first-ever, nation-wide awareness campaign was launched this year, helping Canadians to better understand who we are and what we do. We know that failure to help our young people develop their potential can cause bigger problems for the whole community. Kids need a place where they can feel they belong and grow stronger and healthier. And healthier kids lead to healthier communities. That’s what the Y does every day – we nurture the potential of kids.

In 2013, Canadians from coast to coast saw and heard our campaign messages in print, online, on the radio, on television, and in their local movie theatres. In fact, thanks to generous donations of space by media, conservative reports indicate that our broadcast spots alone were seen more than 1.7 billion times! Even more important, we’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback about the campaign from Canadians, with many sharing their own memories and impressions of the Y in their community. View the campaign at YMCApotential.ca



Taking a Lead in Improving the Health of CanadiansYMCAs across the country worked hard in 2013 to help build the “Canada We Want”, a key focus of PLAN Y, our Federation’s strategic plan. The Canada We Want is made up of strong, vibrant communities and leads the world in the health and well-being of its people. Here are just a few examples of innovative partnerships and advocacy that Canada’s Ys undertook to help Canadians lead healthier lives:

• YMCA Calgary, Alberta Health Services, and the University of Calgaryopened a Wellness Centre in South Health Campus, Calgary’s newest hospital. It is the first YMCA in a hospitalized setting in Canada.

• The YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford partnered with McMasterUniversity to begin development of a new clinic designed to provide learning experiences for graduate physiotherapy students at McMaster University as well as therapy services for Hamilton residents who would not otherwise be able to afford them, all run from a YMCA location.

• The YMCA of Greater Vancouver continued its involvement with thedevelopment and delivery of the Happy Hearts Program, a partnership between the Robert Lee YMCA, Providence Health Care (St. Paul’s Hospital Healthy Heart Program), Vancouver Coastal Health (Vancouver General Hospital), UBC Cardiovascular Clinic, and the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation. The program provides fitness programs, education and support to help at-risk individuals prevent and manage heart disease.

• The YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka offered the TIME (Together In Movementand Exercise) program, improving mobility for individuals who are recovering from a stroke or brain injury, or are suffering from MS, Parkinson’s disease or other neurological conditions.

• The YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg launched the Community Fitness forDiabetes Program in partnership with the Wellness Institute at Seven Oaks Hospital and Youville Centre. The program is designed to help people manage their diabetes through exercise, providing medical fitness expertise to support safe and effective exercise programming that participants can do on their own, at home or at the gym.

• Medhat Mahdy, President, YMCA Ontario and President and CEO, YMCA ofGreater Toronto, participated as a member of the Healthy Kids Panel, which submitted its report, “No Time to Wait: The Healthy Kids Strategy” to the Ontario Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. The report included recommendations for improving the health of Canadian children.


Unifying Systems and Suppliers Bringing PLAN Y, our Federation’s strategic plan, to life means creating nation-wide systems, tools and best practices that enable all Member Associations to communicate seamlessly, and benefit from shared resources and economies of scale. With that goal in mind, we made significant strides toward the implementation of a collaborative communications platform (including email), with participating YMCAs transitioning to the system in late 2013.

In addition, the Canadian YMCA Procurement Program enables Ys across the country to benefit from quality suppliers at preferred rates. The Canadian YMCA Buying Group continued to establish new preferred supplier agreements in 2013 – as of the end of the year there were negotiated agreements for 19 goods and services categories, from uniforms to towels to long-distance telecom.

Building a common web platform that will offer economic efficiencies and the benefits of consistent, national branding while enabling Associations to create and manage sites that serve their local communities has been a key priority. A common web platform for Canada’s Ys moved closer to reality in 2013, with three Associations (YMCA of Cape Breton, YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford, and YMCA of Greater Vancouver) participating as pilot sites of the new platform. Rollouts are expected to begin in 2014.

Working Together to Strengthen Practices YMCAs across the country are working with Imagine Canada to become accredited as members of its highly regarded Standards Program, which is designed to strengthen public confidence in the charitable sector. The program’s accreditation process is a capacity-building initiative that helps charities demonstrate excellence in five key areas: board governance, financial accountability and transparency, fundraising, staff management, and volunteer involvement. As a pilot project, our work is anticipated to contribute to a best-practices standard for other federated charities in the future.

Who We Are

For more than 160 years, YMCAs have been at the centre of communities across Canada helping people of all backgrounds, ages and abilities live engaging, rewarding lives. A charity dedicated to the health of individuals and communities, the YMCA is accessible to all, serving over 2 million people annually in more than 1000 locations. Our programs and services address significant social and health issues with initiatives tailored to local community needs.

Our Federation of 45 YMCA and 5 YMCA-YWCA Member Associations works together to strengthen communities and advocate for children, teens and young adults, helping all to reach their potential and realize their goals.

A member of the World Council of YMCAs, YMCA Canada fosters the development of strong Member Associations and advocates on their behalf regionally, nationally, and internationally.
