The PSC YMCA is a hub for families in the neighbourhood and has been for decades (actually centuries! I believe next year is it’s 150th anniversary)! We love the people and services it offers and the whole community has been shaken by the announcement of its closure. We love and need our Y in its current building!

Our neighbourhood needs this YMCA and its amazing staff in its current (perfect) location! Closing or Moving or Redistributing its services will rob Pointe-St-Charles families of essential programs. We CANNOT let this happen!

PSC is the neighborhood of Montreal that needs it the most. For some kids it's their stability and home. This is a insensitive corp move and extremely far from the T's true mission

Parce que j’habite le quartier et le ymca est un bon service communautaire pour les familles monoparentales, les jeunes et les aînés. Le quartier en a vraiment besoin.

My 3 year old daughter will need a local environment for after school activities!

The services provided by the YMCA are still very much needed.

It's important to support families, and the Y programmes have benefited thousand of families. This is not a frill but an essential service for neighborhoods with young families. My grandchildren will be affected along with many others.
Does gentrification of a neighborhood mean no social or family oriented services?

Le YMCA Pointe-Saint-Charles répond aux BESOINS de la communauté. Il est situé dans un coin du quartier très populeux mais souvent mal desservi à tous les niveaux. Changer l’emplacement fragiliserait encore plus l’exclusion sociale des gens qui n’ont pas les moyens ou les ressources pour se déplacer plus loin.

My Mom and her friends go there for a Seniors Club. Our Seniors need this to get them out and stay active

(Montreal, 2019-11-14)

#272

They need a YMCA in the Point. I belong to the Y Centre-Ville because the YWCA closed. We are supposed to have a healthy lifestyle but they keep closing exercise facilities. No other gym anywhere compares to the YMCAs.

A government is defined by the people who shape it. (Hard working people that pay taxes)

#276

C’est essentiel de garder le Y dans notre quartier! La communauté et les jeunes en ont besoin!

(Montréal, 2019-11-14)

#277

I want young families to continue having quality community programs in the Point-Saint-Charles neighbourhood and the Y already provides this.

(Montréal, 2019-11-14)

#278

i grew up out there and went there often. mostly for birthday parties it needs to stay where it is. its a historic landmark for all those who grew up out in st.charles

I use the after school program and summer vacation for my kids. I can’t imagine any parent that uses the services there would find it very easy to find other options I the neighbourhood.

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

I live in the pointe and the ymca is a part of it

J'utilise les services du Y psc

Et l'organisme a un rôle très important au près dès familles en situation de vulnérabilité dans le quartier

The YMCA is one of the social pillars of Point St Charles. This is simply wrong. Our new mayor may be able to look into funding needed repairs if that is in fact the issue.

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

#325

The CEO needs to wake up they are keeping all big centres not thinking of little centres and communities in need

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

#328

The PSC YMCA is part of the soul of our neighbourhood and it plays a key role in its social fabric. My kid and his friends also attends the YMCA and we are more then satisfied with the outstanding service he receives. This would be a huge loss for our community.

(Montréal, 2019-11-15)

#331

Keep the YMCA. Please! We need this desperately in our community!

(Verdun, 2019-11-15)

#337

CEO needs to step down clearly doesn’t know what he is doing do you really expect for people to donate to the big centres that are in richer neighbourhoods
after you shut down three centre that are smaller neighbourhoods

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

#341

So many reasons to keep this open; a place for kids to gather for sports and activities, help with homework and encouragement in the world, inclusive for seniors and the handicapped, great courses and great instructors. It's loss will have repercussions. Pointe-St-Charles is especially in need of this wonderfully positive community space.

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

#345

We need to keep the YMCA for the children so they have a place to go the YMCA has been there since I was a child I wouldn't want to see it closed so it can be sold 4 condos there's too many condos around here and as part of our heritage everybody in point st. Charles grow up at the YMCA for the boys & girls club as we all knew it and it would be a shame for it not to be there anymore.

I believe that the YMCA in Point-Saint-Charles is a pillar of my community. I raised my son through programs there and he played basketball there for years. My husband takes yoga and Qigong there. Excellent classes. Fantastic facility that I would hate to loose.

Quelle triste nouvelle. La direction de notre YMCA a publié un communiqué en disant que YMCA avait de problèmes. Par contre, notre YMCA n’a pas trouvé autre façon de communiquer avec ses membres que par un communiqué, façon digne de compagnies multinationales. La direction n’a pas trouvé pertinent de nous informer dans un assemblé, de nous présenter les faits, de nous inclure dans la recherche de solution. Non, il semblerait que nous n’avons rien à dire. Nous devons nous mobiliser, nous avons de quoi à dire...

My YMCA in the Pointe isn’t just a gym. It is the heart and soul of the community and it carries the history of those who built the community forward. It gives a heart to PSC and it cares!

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

I love the Y in the Pointe..it's like a community centre..

Closing YMCA'S in low income communities is discriminatory and unethical for an organization which refers to itself as a charity: who needs more "charity" - affluent or underprivileged citizens?

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

I went there as a child so did my hole family

(Point St. Charles, 2019-11-15)

#394

We NEED this facility! I won’t be able to continue exercising without it. The PSC changed my life for the better two years ago which changed my families lives! I’m devastated with this news! There has to be a way to raise money!

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

#395

I have lived in PSC for 63 years and the YMCA has always been a Huge Part in the Lives of Kids. It Kept them off the Street and gave them a place to have fun and learn to get along with other children. SAVE OUR Y
