For Aphrodit Espanioli, fitness and community have always gone hand in hand. When she found the YMCA, she found the perfect place to bring both passions to life.

To launch Pride Month with purpose, YMCA Calgary and the Centre for Sexuality hosted a special screening of Summer Qamp. The film follows a week at Camp fYrefly, a summer camp for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth run by the Centre for Sexuality and hosted each year at Camp Chief Hector YMCA.

Sasha’s journey with YMCA Calgary is one rooted in purpose and compassion. As the General Manager of Early Years, Sasha oversees six licensed child development centres, child-minding spaces, and preschool programs—but her connection to the Y runs far deeper than her leadership role. It’s personal, it’s transformational, and it’s philanthropic.

Join us at all YMCA locations on May 30, May 31, and June 1 for lemonade, activities, and raffle ticket sales—all in support of Camp Chief Hector YMCA!

Introducing the Calgary Flames Foundation, one of YMCA Calgary’s committed community partners since 2013!

YMCA Calgary welcomed over 160 staff, volunteers, donors, board members, community partners, and youth leaders to the 123rd Annual General Meeting, hosted at Brookfield Residential YMCA at Seton. It was an evening filled with reflection, recognition, and renewed commitment to our promise: to be a trusted neighbour and to inspire healthier, happier lives across our city.
