Youth advisory council and other great stories to read about some amazing youth and the work they do around the world!

We had a chance to meet staff and students from St. Joseph Scollard Hall High School on Monday.  The school has a volunteer group called The Bears Who Care and they talked about the incredible work they do in our community for those in need.  The group was awarded the YMCA Peace Medal November, 2025. Great example of the wonderful youth in our community!

Here is an update from Trudy who we miss very much and are so looking forward to seeing her back at a meeting soon!

Trudy will be back in Canada at the end of this month.  She has a fantastic healthcare team in place who have come up with a plan with her American doctors.  She misses everyone very much and can't wait to be back at the meetings when she is able.
