The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign is a collaboration of YMCAs across Canada, and is focused on raising much needed financial support for children, teens, and families who are unable to afford the full cost of participation in a YMCA program or activity in our community.

Locally, this annual campaign encourages the public and friends of the YMCA to invest in YMCA   programs to help provide more opportunities for children from high need areas of our communities,   families facing financial barriers, and Canadian newcomers, to participate in and benefit from YMCA programs.
