As a charity, YCMA BC aims to eliminate financial barriers and provide as many people as possible with Y programs and services that help make lives in British Columbia healthier and happier.

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. If cost is a barrier, we are here to help you or your family access the YMCA.
As a charity, the YMCA is committed to ensuring that our programs remain accessible to everyone in our community. Through the generosity of our donors, we offer a sliding-scale fee system based on your household income, helping children, families, and seniors participate in the life-enhancing programs they need to stay healthy and connected.

Financial assistance is available to any individual or family whose current income prevents them from participating in Y programs.
Support is provided for a set period based on the program type, with the option to renew as your needs evolve.
Our process is designed to be simple, confidential, and focused on finding a sustainable path forward for you.
We are here to ensure that financial barriers don't stand in the way of your health, your family’s growth, or your sense of belonging. If you have questions about the application process or aren't sure which documents you need, please reach out to our team.
We are committed to finding a path forward together so you can reach your full potential at the YMCA.
When you join the YMCA you join more than a gym. You join a community.
