The YWCA of Banff works with women, children and men — no matter their role in domestic violence — to make positive changes to break the pattern of violence and find recovery and wellness. Our priority is safety for all members of the family. The YWCA Banff provides counseling services, a shelter for women and children fleeing domestic violence and works within local schools to encourage healthy relationships from a young age. When women and children live in fear, it impacts our entire community. The second area of focus is Affordable Housing.

The township's three largest settlements are Elmira, St. Jacobs (home base for the national Home Hardware chain), and Breslau, where the Region of Waterloo International Airport is located.

While the Y's mission of service and commitment to community health has not changed over the years, our capacity to offer programs and services to meet the growing needs of our community is limited. Lacking the space to offer vital wellness, youth and family programs, the Kelowna Family Y has maximized its potential with its current facilities. Today, we believe that a major expansion to the existing Kelowna Family Y will make a significant impact on the health and development of this generation and those to come.

The YMCA is a worldwide fellowship dedicated to the growth of persons in spirit mind and body and in a sense of responsibility to each other and the human community. YMCA programs are designed to contribute to good health, emotional stability, a positive image and a sense of worth and well-being. It is a holistic approach—one which encourages the balanced development of the total person—that has contributed to the YMCA’s leading role in this delivery of innovative programs and services.

You can help to financially assist children and youth to participate in the Y. Your charitable contribution to the Strong Kids Campaign will help enrich the lives of over 13,500 children and youth who would otherwise not be able to afford to participate in a values-based, recreational YMCA experience. YMCA programs help children and youth build confidence, develop skills and form relationships. Your generous support can open the doors to a Youth Action program, teach a child to swim, build tomorrow’s leaders through the Leader Corps program and provide a safe, nurturing environment with positive role models in Day Camp. The YMCA believes that investing in the development of youth today will help build strong families, which in turn will build strong communities.
