A message from our President & CEO and our Chair, Board of Directors

It starts here at the YMCA.Health. Happiness. Belonging. The YMCA is much more than a gym or a fitness centre. It’s communities of caring neighbours, friends, and family, all supporting you on your journey to better health. Every day at the Y, we witness people learning new skills, making new friends, getting healthier, finding support, feeling safe, and giving back to the community. It is an incredibly powerful sight.

The Fort McMurray wildfire – and its devastating impact on the community – was the most significant test for our YMCA this year. But the entire experience reinforced the important role the Y plays in the lives of people and community – in good times, and in tragic ones.

For 109 years, we’ve been serving the community by being responsive, relevant, and delivering a positive impact. This report provides a snapshot of our Y’s significant footprint across the region with over 100 sites allowing us to serve more than 120,000 people each year.

Now, more than ever before, we recognize we have a responsibility and an opportunity to address some of the urgent needs facing our communities. Our current strategic focus is on:

• Promoting Health and Well-Being: We believe that people must be active and make healthy choices at every stage of life.

• Helping Children, Youth, and Families thrive: We believe that parents and caregivers need support to raise healthy, resilient kids.

• Promoting Opportunities for All: We believe equal societies fare better, based on quality of life indicators: infant mortality, obesity, low literacy, heart disease, and mental illness.

The challenges facing children and families aren’t getting smaller. They are growing larger and more complex, making our goals for growth and reaching under-served communities that much more critical. Our board and leadership team are confident in our ability to tackle these complex challenges. With our dedicated staff, volunteers, donors, and partners working together as an integrated team, we believe we can continue to make a wide-ranging impact on our community.

Thanks to all of you – a healthier community starts here,

Nick & Nancy

The mental, social, and physical health of Albertans is in decline. More Albertans are living with chronic health conditions than ever before. This is the first generation of children and youth who will inherit a lower life expectancy than the previous generation, as we currently face an increase in preventable deaths caused by malnutrition and inactivity.We believe developing healthy attitudes and behaviours at any age helps prevent disease and improves quality of life.

Annual Report 2016

Doug Tweddle knew Type 2 diabetes ran in his family, and at 215 pounds, the 49-year-old knew his chances of developing the condition were good. “Through the roof!” was his doctor’s diagnosis. He asked for an immediate action plan, and she prescribed him Metformin, a drug that inhibits the production of insulin.

She also recommended weight loss. A dietitian provided Doug with a diabetes-fighting nutrition plan, and he attended regular Weight Watchers meetings. Never a big eater, Doug adjusted fairly easily and both programs helped him lose 17 pounds between October of 2013 and the following January.

The doctor’s third recommendation was a different story. “Exercise had been a foreign word,” Doug says. He’d never been a team sports guy, and “gyms, let alone what to do when using the equipment, were not only unknown but also intimidating.” But his still high blood glucose readings brought him to the YMCA – and a life change just as startling as those scary numbers.

A healthier me starts here... The YMCA helped Doug shed a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

Doug joined the Jamie Platz Family YMCA, as his family were all Y members. Doug also began supporting community efforts like the Strong Kids campaign and their Opportunity Fund. Then he bought some shoes and made the best decision – hiring Y personal trainer Genghis Barranda twice a week to work with him. Doug was still facing very high blood glucose readings and decided to explore how the YMCA could help him. The result was a dramatic life change.

Armed with that information, Genghis worked with Doug to put together a fitness program aimed at weight loss. The results amazed Doug. By February, he was off Metformin, and his glucose readings had dropped to pre-diabetic levels. That March, Genghis switched the program from weight loss to strength and core training.

By July, Doug had taken 50 pounds off of his 5’ 10” frame, and had to part with his old, oversized clothes. As a reward for his hard work, he had a suit specially tailored to fit. He wore it once before it also was too large and he gave it to his brother. “Looks great on him,” Doug says, with a begrudging chuckle.

“It’s never too late to get started,” Doug says, now a “lifer” when it comes to exercise and nutrition. He’s reached a point where he can set his own exercise pace, indulging in treats and vacations but always coming back to the Y. “If you access the Team at the Y, you’ll find the skill, empathy, and heart required to get you up and moving – and that’s what is required when living with diabetes.”

“If you access the Team at the Y, you’ll find the skill, empathy, and heart required to get you up and moving – and that’s what is required when living with diabetes.”


Children and youth who do not participate in positive extracurricular activities are more likely to underachieve academically, lack necessary social skills, and engage in risky behaviours. Almost 30% of kindergarten-aged children are developmentally vulnerable.

We believe families need support to raise healthy, active, and engaged children and youth.

Annual Report 2016

While some gyms focus on stronger delts and quads, the YMCA develops lives, according to one Edmonton teenager. Mahmud’s family first brought him to the Y when he was five. Now 17, he’s visited so often that he can’t recall his own first day, but he does recall his younger brother starting out by almost falling into the pool. Fortunately, a YMCA lifeguard was there with the calming words that eventually helped create a great swimmer.

YMCA staff team members have had a strong influence on Mahmud as well. The patience and tireless attention they show participants — even those who are upset — have set a standard he hopes to follow in his own working life. “They listen,” he says. “They empathize and they’re great at turning negatives into positives.”

Mahmud’s parents have also worked hard – raising five children who range from 9 to 21 years old. As the kids grew, the family’s work and school schedules conflicted. The YMCA was the one place where they could all count on getting together. There were friendly competitions in the weight room and on the basketball court.

Mahmud’s dad, a basketball coach, initiated family slam dunk contests with the tantalizing prize offer, “Who wants ice cream?” Mahmud, who shot up to 5’ 11” before his teens, relished the chance to best his older, shorter siblings. “There was always good-natured trash talk afterwards,” he says. Everyone would get ice cream. The real prize was another fun family memory.

“I knew when I walked in I could be really comfortable here,” Mahmud says. Like the staff members, YMCA members are welcoming, inclusive, and considerate. Newcomers of all skill levels are welcomed to basketball games. A specific ritual gets everyone into the game, while keeping it competitive.

“We call it zig-zagging,” Mahmud explains. Players line up to shoot free throws. The first player who sinks his shot stands by one wall. The next successful shooter goes to the opposite wall. Players who miss queue up to shoot again. This way, the teams pick themselves. “Nobody has to be the last guy waiting for someone to pick him.”

“The YMCA has taught me to be comfortable being myself,” Mahmud says. He predicts the same for every new youngster coming to the place he calls his “second home.” “Bring your child to the YMCA, and they will be safe and come out better than when they went in. Your child will learn a positive attitude and about respect.” That’s the difference between building your body and building your life.

“I knew when I walked in I could be really comfortable here.”

Confidence starts here... The YMCA builds more than Mahmud’s muscles.


Societies that are unequal fare worse according to quality of life indicators: infant mortality, obesity, low literacy, heart disease, and mental illness. Economic inequality continues to increase. Despite Alberta’s opportunities, nearly 400,000 Albertans — including 73,000 children — continue to live in poverty.

We believe in removing financial barriers to participation in important YMCA programs and services to help people reach their potential.

Annual Report 2016

“It was the hardest thing in my life,” Sherry says, recalling the dark day officers and a case worker took away her children. The police were good enough to hold off arresting her until the four little faces were out of sight. “On my way to the remand centre, I knew deep down in my heart I was going to get my kids back, no matter what.”

She managed to bail herself out but by then she’d been evicted from her home. While “couching it” at a cousin’s house, Sherry first heard about the YMCA’s Homeward Bound program. She met a YMCA support worker and was deemed a suitable candidate. “Working with Homeward Bound gave me a lot of hope,” Sherry says.

It might have been smooth sailing if not for Sherry’s biggest weakness, she let her ex return. “I wanted a relationship and a father for my kids,” she explains. In hopes of getting that, Sherry was willing to overlook a toxic cycle of “using, drinking, and getting hit,” which ended with Sherry letting her sobriety go and losing her apartment.

“But the Homeward Bound program never gave up on me,” Sherry recounts. This time they asked what she wanted to do, which included a six-week program for women dealing with addiction and trauma. Meanwhile, they also found her a safer new home — far from the children’s father and his relatives.

At her Permanent Guardian Order court date, her new support network, including the YMCA, stood behind her. The judge gave her a second and final chance, warning her that she was one misstep from losing her children forever.

Now Children’s Services wanted her to move again — Sherry needed more space and a lower-level apartment with no stairs for her disabled son. Again, she appealed to Homeward Bound, and they found her an alternative home. “Having all my kids under one roof was just amazing. Hearing them laugh, watching a movie, playing — that was something that I always wanted and I still have that today.”

The YMCA’s Family Ties program has since helped her rebuild her maternal relationship with her kids, and she’s learning to guide them toward good life choices. “Having people who believe in you makes a difference in your life,” Sherry says, crediting the YMCA with helping her move forward in life and not quitting on her when she slid back. Sherry is still going strong, and will have been sober for two years this April.

“Working with Homeward Bound gave me a lot of hope.”

Compassion

Among the most vulnerable evacuees were newcomer families trying to navigate the chaos and uncertainty while facing language barriers and unfamiliarity with Canadian systems. YMCA Immigrant Settlement Services staff met with the evacuees daily at their temporary housing to sensitively extend comfort, language support, information and resources, help recover critical ID and citizenship documents, access income and benefits, and much more. Once staff finished their shift, they turned their attention to meeting their own families’ needs. Their selflessness in a very trying time is a powerful example of building compassionate and welcoming communities.

Recovery

Though the world may be unpredictable, one thing remains certain — the YMCA is, and always will be, dedicated to building healthy, confident, secure, and connected children, youth, families, and communities.

On May 3, 2016, this commitment was put to the test in Fort McMurray, and the surrounding communities of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, where more than 80,000 people were forced to evacuate due to fierce wildfires.

In a two-hour period, our YMCA staff team competently closed down all 10 program sites — including Child Care, Community and Housing, and Health, Fitness & Aquatics — successfully evacuating members and program participants, and reconnecting 347 children with their families. Thanks to evacuating before the official order, our team was able to look after their own families and join the many desperately fleeing to escape the fires.

Once out of immediate danger, Y staff dispersed across the province and the country. The evacuation lasted five weeks and the Y stepped up to help. During this stressful time, our team rallied around evacuees and

one another to provide support and comfort and to share information. Our Immigrant Settlement Services team helped newcomer families, Housing First program participants, and temporary foreign workers. Edmonton-based Health, Fitness & Aquatics branches opened their doors to all evacuees. Child Care staff communicated with anxious parents. The community relied heavily on the Y, the largest provider of child care in the region, to enable the large-scale recovery work that was required. Health, Fitness & Aquatics staff also assured members that the Y would reopen sites and services as quickly as possible.

Belonging

Y Staff Evacuees reach out to their Fellow Citizen Evacuees

“I came to the Y and did my old routine — ran on my old treadmill and saw familiar faces. It felt really good. Even though we are back in our city and everything is “normal,” my life doesn’t feel normal. I didn’t realize I craved routine and familiarity so much. Being at the Y right now was really emotional. I love you YMCA.”

- Aleaha, resident of Fort McMurray, Y member and mother of five

(transcribed from video she shared on Facebook)

June 1st, and some returned to homes while others were less fortunate. The Wood Buffalo Region YMCA team from every service area pitched in to restore Y services quickly along with supporting many other community recovery initiatives — confirming their incredible dedication to the community. The first two centres reopened at the end of June, Westwood reopened on August 3, and our last child care centre reopened in March 2017.

Thanks to generous partners like the Red Cross, YMCAs across Canada, Intact Insurance, and BMO, along with individual donors to the YMCA Fort McMurray Recovery Fund, the Y was able to offer free access to summer day camps, out-of-school care programs, and our fitness facilities to help the revitalization of the region. Parents and members appreciated these initiatives and the sense of normalcy that they brought during this critical time.

In times of crisis, YMCAs step up. Our Y stepped up, and throughout this disaster, we were reminded of the important role the Y plays in communities and in peoples’ lives. We have demonstrated leadership

and are committed to playing a significant role in the community’s recovery efforts. The Board, CEO, and Senior Leadership extend their sincere thanks and appreciation to the Wood Buffalo team. In spite of your own personal concerns and losses, you were able to focus on helping others and rebuilding a safe, welcoming, healthy, and supportive community. We acknowledge you with deep gratitude.
