Our Community Shines Brighter Because of You

At YMCA Calgary, JOY begins with one simple moment, a smile, a seat pulled out, a voice that says, “Come sit with us.”

For Deborah, that invitation came when she needed it most. What started as recovery after a heart attack became connection, purpose, and friendship that changed her life. For her mom, it was the same, finding belonging after a stroke, one exercise and story at a time.

When you give to the JOY Campaign, you make these moments possible. Your generosity opens doors, removes barriers, and turns silence into laughter, isolation into community, and kindness into JOY.

Together, we can help every neighbour find their place to shine.
