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 
Live Right Now
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!

RE:DISCOVER YOUR Y!

Come to the A.R. Kaufman Family Y to try TRX. Suspension based training develops strength, balance, flexibility and core strength simultaneously. There are hundreds of exercises for every fitness goal.

WHY DON'T PEOPLE GET SCREENED FOR CANCER? 
Cancer Care SurveyCancer Care Ontario Survey 

Cancer Care Ontario has reached out to YMCAs in Ontario for help with distributing a survey about cancer screening. 

 

Some types of cancer can be found before symptoms show up. Cancer Care Ontario wants to learn how they can help make more peope aware of their screening options. 
 
Take the survey here, or visit our website for more information.
