Medicine Hat YMCA

Rec Centres

We are 300 employees and volunteers working together to serve more than 10,000  people in southeastern Alberta.

For over 60 years we’ve cared for kids, shaped leaders for tomorrow and helped generations of people come together to find support, get healthier, and make friends for life. We are determined to be a genuine, welcoming, hopeful place that is nurturing and fun. This is the community we want. A community where we share a sense of social responsibility; experience better health in spirit, mind and body; and where children and families can thrive.

We all live in communities that experience profound change and increasing social problems. These problems are not getting smaller or any easier to solve. For some people and families, their needs are critical. Every day is a struggle, and getting out of bed feels impossible, never mind the challenge of having enough food to eat or safe places to go. Others may struggle to find the motivation to make healthy choices and feel disconnected from others and their community.

The Y is a charity designed to meet those needs. We're there for people in times of crisis and we're also in the business of prevention. Prevention isn't glamorous work but for more than 60 years the Y has been playing the long game—helping people reach their potential before issues become problems

Health, Fitness, and Aquatics offer opportunities for all levels and abilities to reach their potential through the Living Fit Program, group fitness classes, yoga, personal training, individual weight/cardio experiences, child and youth programming, and summer day camps. We also offer many aquatics programs including lane swim, aquafit, swimming lessons, lifeguard training, and First Aid certification.
