At the Y, everyone is treated fairly
Because we believe everyone has the right to well-being, regardless of their financial situation, The YMCAs of Québec has an “Access for All” policy.
Access for All gives people with limited financial means access to our community or fitness activities at reduced cost. Be sure to ask our welcome staff about the “Access for All” rate. The Y will be pleased to study your application in complete confidentiality.
