We are drown-proofing the Okanagan by providing free swimming lessons to every grade 3 student in School District #23.
Thanks to generous donors, we offer Beyond the Bell; an after school program available to some of the Okanagan's most at-risk kids.
We believe kids should have access to healthy food and snacks in our programs.
Thank you to everyone who enjoyed a cookie in support of Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign which raised a record breaking $46,300 for the YMCA of Okanagan Child Care Program. These funds will help the Y serve a daily nutritious snack to all children in their care, including the 1 in 4 children whose families struggle to afford any snacks at all.
Smile Cookie week runs from September 14-20, with local Tim Hortons restaurants in Kelowna and West Kelowna supporting the YMCA of Okanagan through Smile Cookie sales. The full dollar from every Smile Cookie sold will support the Y’s Healthy Snack Program, providing nutritious snacks for kids in Y child care programs, some of which struggle to access nutritious snacks at all.
The YMCA of Okanagan will welcome swimmers back to their pools at the Kelowna Family Y and H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre starting Monday, August 10. Aquatic offerings will include open swim time, lane swimming and Aquafit classes to help community members cool off and get back to their healthy routines.
