Full company description
YMCA of Northern Alberta is an independent charity that provides health, education and social services to communities including Red Deer, Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray (Wood Buffalo). It contributes to the mix of public, private, and charitable programs and facilities available to Canadians. As well, the YMCA has always been there to catch people who "fall between the cracks" of public systems and the marketplace. Our Health and Wellness Centres (gyms) are part of the YMCA's commitment to developing the potential of everyone's spirits, minds, and bodies. YMCA programs are responses to community needs. That is why a YMCA can look very different from community to community, country to country, and generation to generation. As needs change, so do the YMCA's program offerings.
