Y Girl is on location at the YMCA of Northern BC to talk to you about our annual Strong Kids Campaign. Here at the Y we believe that health is a right, not a privilege and that nobody should be turned away due to inability to pay. We fundraise all year long to support kids in our community to have the opportunity to access programs that will support their well-being, learning, and development. In fact, 1 in 5 kids in YMCA programs and 1 in 4 campers at YMCA Camp Kanannaq are ...given some sort of financial support or subsidy. This month is our Strong Kids Month- where we invite the community to join us in the important work by donating to YMCA Strong Kids. On March 13th, we are having our largest fundraiser of the year- MEGATHON! This is a whole day dedicated to getting active and raising awareness and money for our Strong Kids Campaign.
