Greetings!
The days are flying by now that spring weather is here! Whether you ride your bike, work in your garden, or play catch with your kids it feels great to get active in the sunshine again.
There is lots on the go at the YMCA as we change seasons. Take a look at some of our events below. |
| LIVE RIGHT NOW | |
Cambridge is #1 in Ontario
As part of the CBC's Live Right Now contest Cambridge citizens tracked their healthy choices with Facebook, and have earned the title of most active community in Ontario!
The next step is to host a city-wide event to show our dedication to a healthy lifestyle. Join us on Sunday April 1st, 9:00am at City Hall to get your instructions and passport to healthy acitivities around the city.
The more spirit we show, the more points we will win. The community with the most points wins bragging rights as the most active city in Canada, plus a $100,000 natural playground. Come out and show your enthusiasm!
