YMCA of Northern Alberta has grown a lot since 1907, including into the Wood Buffalo, Grande Prairie and Red Deer regions, offering YMCA Child Care, child and youth recreation programs, youth, family, employment, immigrant and housing services across northern and central Alberta.
While our programs and services have evolved over time, our mission to create life-enhancing opportunities for the growth and development of all people in spirit, mind and body, has remained the same.
