Dear Valued Member,

We hope you are continuing to stay healthy and well as we move through the fall. We are continuing to do everything we can to make our Y a safe place for you to get well and stay well. Please take a few moments to read through our latest updates below. 

Still on hold? 

If there’s anything we can do to help make you feel more comfortable about returning to the Y, we’re here for you. We’re happy to set up a personal tour, so that you can see how we’re keeping you safe, and we can even offer you a few opportunities to try us for free. Please reply to this email and I will be happy to connect with you. 
No YMCA Access for Visitors from Modified Stage 2 Areas 

In our continued efforts to help curb the spread of COVID-19, visitors/members from an area currently in modified Stage 2 will not be allowed access to YMCA of Three Rivers locations in Guelph, Stratford-Perth and Waterloo Region. Anyone who visits our Ys to purchase a day pass or any other service will have to show government-issued ID with proof of residence. This action, in addition to many of the existing safety protocols we have in place, is being taken in an effort to keep our community safe. 
Celebrating Geoff Vogt – outgoing CEO of the YMCA-YWCA of Guelph 

Even though Geoff has been a part of our Y since 2017, he has been a part of the Y movement for over 12 years. We have all continued to benefit from Geoff's leadership throughout the pandemic and during our transition to the YMCA of Three Rivers. At the end of October, Geoff will be taking on a new adventure with the Thames Valley School Board, which means we now have an opportunity to celebrate Geoff's contributions to the Guelph Y and the greater Y movement. 

What we're planning: A drive-by drop-in in the Guelph Y parking lot. Pull up in your car and wish Geoff well. Celebrating needs to look different in our current reality, so we will be doing our best to celebrate safely.  

When: October 29th from 2:30pm - 4:00pm. 

We look forward to having you with us. 
Personal Training Promotion 

If you’re looking for a highly customized approach to getting healthy, personal training is a great option to consider. For a limited time we are offering four personal training sessions for the price of three. 

Call us at 519-824-5150, visit us in-person, or reply to this email for more details. 
Children’s Programs 

Even though our program sizes are limited to keep you safe, we still have lots of room in many children’s programs at our Y, including swim lessons! Please take a look at our schedule below and give us a call at any time if you have questions about availability in these programs. 
Free Online Wellness Workshops 

Our Health Management team continues to offer an increasingly popular series of free online workshops on topics such as: stretching, fall prevention, balance, mindfulness and more. Get the details of upcoming workshops below. 
You are why we're here for good.  

Stay well and see you soon,
