What. A. Nite. 💫
The
@ymcaedmonton team officially launched the Downtown Y (#DTY) Campaign on Friday night. Thanks to the close to 300 guests who helped our organization mark this important event that not only spotlighted the beautiful Don Wheaton YMCA, but also the incredible work being done to revitalize #yeg’s downtown. From politicians to sports figures to business and civic leaders in our community, the Downtown Y was packed to the brim with folks exploring every corner of our wonderful facility. The evening was filled with entertainment, music, food and lots of surprises, including a synchro swim team performance in the pool to a pop-up wood-fired sauna on the rooftop to aromatherapy and bath bomb making workshops in the change room. Thanks to Edmonton Mayor
@andrewknack for kicking off the festivities by bringing greetings on behalf of the city.
The Y first opened our doors in downtown Edmonton in 1907, growing over the past century to become one of the largest charities in Alberta and one of the largest Y’s in North America. But we never forgot our humble roots or our downtown neighbours. It’s important that we take a leadership role to help our community dream again about what’s possible downtown when we all work together.
Friday’s launch event was just the start. Stay tuned for more details about how you can get involved over the coming year starting by getting a membership at the Downtown Y. There are lots of great deals right now. Head to our web site to sign up.
