Corporate support fuels YMCA Centre for Life campaign

Corporate support is fueling the Community Building Campaign for the YMCA Centre For Life.

The YMCA of Central East Ontario is excited to share that BMO has made a generous $100,000 community contribution in support of the Y Centre for Life—an ambitious initiative dedicated to expanding access to programs, services, and spaces that foster connection, resilience, and healthy living for people of all ages.

This commitment reflects BMO’s enduring dedication to strengthening communities and investing in organizations that create lasting, positive impact.

The contribution will directly support projects designed to:
• Enhance accessibility
• Modernize facilities
• Create welcoming, inclusive environments for families, children, youth, seniors, and individuals seeking a sense of belonging

“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to BMO for this remarkable support. This investment will have a meaningful and long-term impact on the lives of thousands of individuals and families throughout Central East Ontario. Together, we are building stronger communities. Together, we are creating spaces where people can grow, thrive, and belong,” shared David Allen,
YMCA of Central East Ontario President & CEO.
