Campaign Overview

Demand for our essential services is growing, and so too must our facilities. We need your help to ensure no one is turned away from the Y.

With your help, the Strengthening the Heart of the Community Capital Campaign will:

Revitalize the Argyle location, a gathering place for downtown Ottawa’s diverse clientele. Providing recreation, child care, employment training and housing, the
Taggart Family YMCA-YWCA is the flagship of our association.

Expand the Orleans location, now the Ruddy Family YMCA-YWCA, by 20,000 square feet, allowing the Y to provide first rate services in one of Canada’s fastest growing communities.

Redevelop the Bonnenfant Y Outdoor Education and Leadership Centre, ensuring that future generations will benefit from leadership training, an appreciation of nature and the opportunity to be active outdoors.
