In 1902, the Calgary community welcomed the YMCA as a place for men to explore spiritual values and leisure activities. Over the years, YMCA Calgary has evolved into an organization that provides a wide variety of programs and services for people of all ages and abilities in the community.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of Calgarians are involved in the YMCA through health, fitness, and recreation programs, youth leadership, childcare, day and residential camping. Guided by four core values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility, YMCA Calgary strives to offer quality programs and services that help build strong kids, strong families and strong communities.
