YMCA Bishop Savaryn Child Care

Informasi umum

The YMCA of Edmonton was instituted by an act of Legislature in 1907 three years after Edmonton became a city. The original building officially opened in 1908 and offered a swimming pool, employment bureau, education classes, bible study, a gymnasium, running track, and residence. It was started by a group of prominent Edmontonians like Alex Rutherford and John A. McDougall, who helped raise nearly $28,000 to begin construction of a YMCA building.
The Edmonton YMCA has grown concurrently with the City of Edmonton, and they have mutually supported each other’s growth and development — the YMCA, through its programs and services, and the City through working with the Y on capital projects.
