Peter Gilgan Family YMCA reopening
The YMCA of Oakville, also known as the Peter Gilgan Family YMCA, will reopen next Tuesday, September 8, 2020. The facility will open at 8:00a.m. for members 18 years of age and older.
“We’re taking a number of steps to ensure the safety of everyone” said Kyle Barber, President & CEO, YMCA of Oakville. “Our team is very excited to welcome our members back.”
"We’ve done everything possible to ensure our facilities meet the highest standards for hygiene and safety. And we have modified our policies and programs to facilitate safe social distancing practices."
The way we will interact with each other may look a bit different, but at the YMCA, you will always be able to connect with people, and improve your health and wellness, which will help to strengthen our community. We are here to help you focus on what matters most, your health.
Taking care of our health is more important now than ever before. At the YMCA we’re here to help you stay active and healthy in spirit, mind and body.
