Building Healthy Communities through the Power of Belonging.The Northern Alberta We Want, The YMCA We Need. When you’re 110 years old, you don’t expect to discover you have a super power. It turns out our YMCA had one all along.

It is found in our ongoing ability to help improve health for all, combat inequality, protect our most vulnerable people, become better global citizens, and help our young people fulfill their potential.

What kind of YMCA is needed to carry this massive ambition into the future? One with the strength to help build strong kids, healthy families, and thriving communities, while always accepting those who are different and helping those who are disadvantaged. It’s the strength our YMCA always had.

This is our super power – the power of belonging.

It’s the power to give a voice, opportunities, and self-respect to those who’ve never had them before and to rescue many from social isolation and loneliness. It’s the power to make neighbourhoods safer, friendlier, and more vibrant, and to produce astounding resilience in times of challenge or crisis.

This power can’t be found online. It’s the power of personal connections, eye-to-eye contact, acceptance, and inclusion. So we’re applying all the full might of our know-how, people, programs, and practices to fostering a sense of belonging for all. The YMCA of Northern Alberta is a place where all can be safe, supported, informed, engaged, and (best of all) themselves.

Our board, leadership team, dedicated staff, volunteers, donors, and partners have harnessed this power in the past. In fact, this last year, the ongoing challenge of the Alberta economy required our YMCA to use its power to find balance between the needs of the communities we serve while still providing safe, welcoming places in the face of financial realities. This, despite the fact that increasing numbers of children, youth, adults, and families needed our programs and services more than ever.

We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who support and choose to be involved with the YMCA – the power of belonging starts here,

We believe it’s never too late to belong. Our programs help individuals of all ages make life-enhancing connections.

A healthier me starts here... The YMCA has shown Chris the many forms of belonging

For Chris Spady, the YMCA is a door that just keeps opening – first to herself, then to active seniors, and ultimately to those in need.

She discovered the first spirit of YMCA belonging in 1987 when she and her husband attended classes in a Fort McMurray high school gym. She immediately found it a welcoming place.

“You just start taking certain classes, and you make friends there,” Chris recalls. People in workout rooms would strike up conversations. Staff greeted them on sight. The cleaners were both helpful and gregarious. The Spadys found more of the same when they moved back to their native Edmonton. Chris followed her husband’s lead and started taking Aquasize classes at the Jamie Platz Family YMCA. Through this, she would discover a second spirit of YMCA belonging.

At least $500 of it came by way of the group’s “Coffee Fund.” At group occasions like their monthly “Birthday Wednesdays,” a coffee can sits on the coffee station counter, with an invitation for members to contribute any amount that suits them.

When people accept such an invitation in the jovial spirit of belonging, it doesn’t take long for amazing things to happen.

“They were looking for instructors, “ Chris says. With previous aerobic instruction experience, she trained for and began teaching Aquafit in 2015. She now teaches three Aqua Deep classes and subs for other instructors. She spends her Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with a group of about 30 seniors who’ve been together for over 25 years. They range in age from their mid-fifties to mid-eighties. Some work harder than others but the real draw is the socializing.

“This group, they’ve always done things together,” Chris says. That’s included everything from Christmas luncheons to lake cabin get-togethers. Last year, they attended the funeral for an 89-year-old group member. That camaraderie now contributes to a third spirit of YMCA belonging.

For years, the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign has raised money to give kids opportunities to live healthier, happier lives. The members of Chris’s group have been longtime supporters. Three years ago, Mickey Kapuscinski passed Chris the fundraising leadership torch. Following Mickey’s lead, Chris took a low-pressure approach – making potential donors aware of what the program does and how all donations, big or small, could help. As a result, the group of longtime friends was able to contribute over $6,000 to Strong Kids.

It’s never too early to form a sense of belonging – or to develop an understanding of the need for inclusiveness. Instilling both in our children, teens, and young adults is vital to building the Canada we want.

The YMCA leads this effort with programs that promote acceptance as part of a healthy, active, and engaged growing experience.

Annual Report 2017

Confidence starts here... The YMCA’s faith in Omer took him further than he expected to go

“Everything happens for a reason,” observes 16-year-old Omer.

For instance, his family first came to the Castle Downs Family YMCA in 2012 because his father was diagnosed with high cholesterol and needed an exercise program that wouldn’t break the family’s bank. In the YMCA Health, Fitness & Aquatics tradition, Centre Manager Karen Neff set the whole family up with an exercise regimen and support from the YMCA Opportunity fund.

She also saw good reason to guide young Omer toward the YMCA’s Counsellor-in-Training program.

“I felt that Karen saw potential in me,” Omer says. His parents saw that potential too, and agreed it would bode well for his future. Soon Omer was teaching toddlers the rules of

on these steps, and that he’s ready to join the staff here.” Next, he has his eye on that lifeguard certification.

“I never thought I would actually consider being one,” Omer muses. Further down the road, he hopes to apply his acquired confidence, training, and interpersonal skills to a career in dentistry. If not for his family’s 2012 visit to the Y, none of it might have been possible. Everything happens for a reason.

games and helping them with arts, crafts, and other activities. It was more than something to add to future resumes.

“I felt proud of myself,” Omer recalls. “To be a role model for kids. To be someone they look up to.”

Because Omer loved swimming, he’d come to admire the athletic and lifesaving abilities of lifeguards, and he wanted to follow their example as role models and develop his leadership skills. After the family came back from a year away from the Y, Omer asked Karen and the Aquatics coordinator about the training options and requirements for the YMCA’s lifeguard and swimming instructor programs.

Although he’d always wanted to be a lifeguard, there were reasons to take the instructor route. Omer would have to turn 16 before he could pursue the lifeguard certification and the YMCA was actively looking for swim instructors. Also, the two programs had the same prerequisites, so taking the instructor course now would help him with the lifeguard course later.

Completing his swimming instructor course filled Omer with pride. He immediately shared the news with Karen and the staff. “It’s important to him that we know he’s successful,” Karen says. “That he’s continuing

The Y is not alone in its focus on community building or in its commitment to improving health. However, our 110-year tradition of making and strengthening social connections is unique. Our comprehensive community-based programs provide the skills, opportunities, and confidence essential to the well-being of families and individuals. Belonging means everyone in our communities has the space and time they need to reach out, connect, and engage.

A community of support starts here... The YMCA helped Eva break down language and employment barriers

When Eva’s family first arrived in Canada from Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), language wasn’t an issue. Landing in Quebec in 2012, Eva’s French easily got her through high school. But when the family moved to Edmonton in July 2014, Eva spoke no English and conversed only in French with the staff at the restaurant she worked in.

“I had no idea what my life here was going to be,” Eva says. She decided, “This is not what I want for my life.”

That October, the family moved to Grande Prairie. It was smaller and friendlier, and a family visit to its Centre for Newcomers offered Eva a chance at a better life. There, she discovered the YMCA’s Bridging the Gap (BTG) – a 20-week program that involved training in workplace skills and ended with twelve weeks of work experience.

St. Gerard Child Care facilities. At St. Gerard, she met Director of Early Years Child Care Jen Stierle. Eva looked up to Jen, whom Eva found “patient and very understanding.” Jen admired Eva’s work ethic and positive attitude so much that she recruited Eva to follow her when Jen moved to the Riverstone facility.

Eva soon earned the position of Assistant Director of both the Early Years and Out of School Child Care programs. Her ability to quickly see tasks through to completion and her skill with parents, kids, and staff fill Jen with both amazement and pride at how far Eva has come since the days when a language barrier severely limited her career opportunities. Eva looks back on her decision to enroll in BTG with pride and gratitude.

“I came out stronger. Now I have a great career. The YMCA helped me a lot – to grow up, to find what I like, and to find my place.”

Language was still a problem for Eva, but a bilingual classmate helped her communicate, then the program managers arranged for her to study English at the Grande Prairie Regional Council for Lifelong Learning. Eva’s instructors made learning much easier than she’d expected. Soon she was ready for her field placement at Oxford Learning, where she was kept on for a full year.

Eva wanted to work in child care, and her BTG managers identified her as a good candidate

for Level 1 training at Grande Prairie Regional College. She liked that training so much that she pursued a Child and Youth Care diploma online through Lakeland College.

In 2015, her skills and initiative brought her to the Grand Prairie YMCA’s Child Care program. She split her time between the Patterson and

Plan Y: Expedition - YMCA’s bold new adventure

Belonging

2017 YMCA National Conference – Edmonton, Alberta | June 14–17, 2017 LIVE GRAPHIC RECORDINGSam Bradd

In June 2017, YMCA Canada’s National conference (which takes place every eight years) was hosted for the first time in Edmonton. Delegates from across the country and around the world (including our partners from Bogotá, Colombia, and Ukraine) gathered for plenary sessions, workshops, discussions, and presentations. President & CEO of YMCA Canada, Peter Dinsdale, opened the conference by

outlining Plan Y: Expedition 2017. The ultimate goal of this bold new initiative is achieving The Canada We Want, The YMCA We Need – safe and vibrant communities, a strong economy, and environmental sustainability. The Y’s objective is to develop programs that will move us closer to that goal with a specific focus on underserved communities, including Indigenous communities and newcomers to Canada.We also intend to help

improve lives outside our own borders. The leaders of our YMCA Global Network will receive more training and a sharper focus on contributing and learning in an interdependent world.A colourful live performance by Indigenous dancers followed the opening address. Then came greetings from dignitaries, including respected Chief Wilton Littlechild. After working in Edmonton’s inner city and serving as a YMCA lifeguard,

he earned a Masters Degree in Physical Education at the University of Alberta, became a lawyer, and later a Member of Parliament. He recently served on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The main sessions then began, with fascinating speakers that included:Ritu Bhasin – Author of The Authenticity Principle and internationally-recognized expert in diversity and leadership.

Ryan McMahon – Anishinaabe comedian, writer, media maker, and community activator. Jennifer Hollett – Head of News at Twitter Canada, Broadbent Institute leadership fellow, and leading advocate for women and young womens’ rights.Don Iveson – Mayor of Edmonton, who outlined the city’s options for inclusive hiring and combatting poverty with affordable housing, recreation, and child care. They contributed to a lively schedule which focused on Perspectives on Belonging – a conversation about the themes of inclusion, acceptance, and self-respect, which then powered other sessions throughout the conference. These sessions covered a lot of ground, from acknowledging our own biases and blind spots to gaining a solid grasp on Indigenous values to converting our online-stated support for equality and diversity into real-life action and brighter prospects for tomorrow and the future!

Change Downtown Housing - New Solutions for an Old ProblemSometimes circumstances force a tough decision. However, that’s when the YMCA steps up and proves when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Such was the case on October 31, 2017, when the Y closed its Downtown Housing Facility, a familiar landmark on Edmonton’s 102 A Avenue. As stated by President & CEO Nick Parkinson and Board Chair Nancy Fraser, “This decision was not made lightly.” In fact, it came after a special task force of the YMCA Board conducted an extensive two-year review of all its programs and services in the downtown area. That review included commissioning architects and space planners to explore the possibility of new floor plans that were both sustainable and amenable to the changing needs of those with housing vulnerabilities. It was found that the structure, and the purpose it was originally designed to serve, presented no viable option for redevelopment. Opened in 1951, the facility

had been designed to meet the dual purposes of housing and Health, Fitness & Aquatics (HFA) needs, though the HFA eventually relocated two blocks away to the new Don Wheaton Family YMCA facility. The housing was built on the single room occupancy model (SRO). Providing temporary, low-cost housing for travellers, job seekers, and others who needed to spend time in the city but had neither the funds for a hotel nor friends or relatives with whom they could stay. The 10x10-foot rooms featured hostel-style basics – a bed, desk, and access to shared washrooms. However, the needs of 67 years ago were much different than those faced by individuals and families today. Requirements today include food service, barrier-free access, independent washrooms, medical and medication management, access to mental health and addictions resources, and aids to daily living services. Typical stays had also grown longer. Half of the residents had lived in the facility for two years or more - time

needed to get their lives together after job losses, family breakups, or sudden relocations.Those same six decades took a toll on the building’s operating systems and infrastructure. Over time, the case for redevelopment, like the building itself, would only grow weaker. After the difficult decision to close was finalized, it was time to spring into positive action. The YMCA was committed to assisting all the residents with finding permanent, safe, and affordable housing solutions that would improve their quality of life. Over 460 residents had to be supported in finding new housing alternatives. Our proven rehousing expertise kicked into high gear and we were soon exploring options with numerous housing partners. We also worked to find new roles within the Y for our Downtown YMCA Housing staff team. Their dedication stands as one of the finest examples of our commitment to helping vulnerable

populations. As an active partner in the 10-year plan to end homelessness, we’re proud to provide affordable housing services at the Melcor YMCA Village, and to deliver Housing First services in Edmonton, Grande Prairie, and Wood Buffalo.

Since Northern Alberta’s first Y opened in 1907, we’ve learned how to deal with many kinds of adversity. Having to make difficult decisions is just one of them. It only strengthens our resolve to continually modify our programs and services in order to keep meeting ever-changing community needs.
