The Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede Kickoff Parade is next week, Thursday July 28th! We are so excited to see this amazing event return to our city after a two-year hiatus.

Please see below for how this event will impact the YMCA.

The YMCA of Medicine Hat launched a new licensed summer day camp last week: Camp Jude. Camp Jude is specifically designed to support the needs of children ages 5-12 who have experienced trauma. This innovative new program was made possible through YMCA Canada’s Innovation Grant, which funded $50,000 to pilot the program in Medicine Hat this summer.

Medicine Hat, AB, July 4th, 2022: The YMCA of Medicine Hat is excited to announce the introduction of a new building to our current 14 service delivery locations: The Y on 2nd.

This Canada Day, YMCA Canada is reflecting on this moment in time, the state of our country, and the world. From the work to support refugees who continue to flee from countries like Ukraine and Afghanistan, to divisions around COVID-19 safety protections, and continued inequities in our society, it is clear that many challenges lie ahead of us. We have seen what is possible when we work together for a greater good, as we have throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. But we have also seen what happens when we ignore our collective responsibility to each other.
