Sault Youth Centre

The Sault Family YMCA is proposing to develop a Youth Centre in Sault Ste. Marie. Our community has not had a youth centre for many years and, as a Northern Ontario community, we do not have the youth-centred amenities that larger communities in Canada enjoy.

The Sault Youth Centre will be located in our main YMCA facility, which will significantly reduce the traditional costs associated with outfitting and operating a standalone operation.

We have met with representatives of a number of youth-serving organizations in our community and have enjoyed great support for our idea. Most importantly, we have surveyed hundreds of high-school students in our community to determine their interest in supporting and participating in a Youth Centre.

The Sault Youth Centre will offer young people the opportunity to participate in recreation, fitness, music and other programs. The governing and operating of the centre will be the resposnbility of youth from our community, with oversight and support from the Sault Family YMCA.

We estimate that $150,000 will be required to renovate and suitably equip the Sault Youth Centre. We are hoping to secure $75,000 in financial support from Aviva, which will allow us to establish the centre and purchase the necessary equipment. The Sault Youth Centre will feature a youth library, gaming lounge, computer-based music studio, mulitmedia centre, pool table and a variety of board games. In addition, youth will be able to enjoy the traditional amenities that are readily avaialble at our YMCA, such as swimming, basketball, exergaming and racquet sports.

The Sault Youth Centre will focus on providing healthy, safe and fun activities for thousands of high-school-aged young people in our community who would love to have a place to gather, to call "their own". Our facility is in the centre of our community and on all major bus routes, which makes us easily accessible.

We have done without a youth centre in our community for too many years. With the support of Aviva, and the commitment of our community partners, we can bring smiles and positive developmental opportunities to many deserving young people, for many years to come!
