Keep the YMCA Point St Charles in its original building

I’m signing because I chose to live in the point for its community spirit and services and the Y is a big part of that. This less fortunate need these services and perhaps with the neighbourhood gentrifying the larger tax base can help support the Y and projects like Share the Warmth and St Colombia House

The YMCA is such an important anchor for all residents of Pointe St. Charles. Downsizing is a terrible idea. We need that space to be a community! If anything, we should bring back the pool!

It is an historic community Center that is important and vital to the youth of PSC. The excellent programming for youth, and children is essential to the community.

The Y in the Pointe helps a lot of people, it's part of our community and is desperately needed.

I attended day camp there when It was the boys and girls club. I also did aerobics at the ymca in the Point. The community needs the ymca.

The YMCA is a great asset to PSC. Great place where the community can meet, exchange, send kids to kindergarden, stay healthy.
It needs to stay open!

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

Because everyone needs a place to go with out the cost. It’s hard when you have not much.

I'm signing because I attend the gym and group classes multiple times every week. I live in the area and there is already not a whole lot around the Pointe St Charles stretch of Wellington for a young professional. Losing the Y is losing a massive asset to me and the quality of life of the neighborhood.

C est très important pour la communauté de pointe st charles

(Pointe st charles, 2019-11-15)

#633

Il faut absolument que la population de Montréal ait accès à des services tellement essentiels d’activités récréatives.

(Montréal, 2019-11-15)

#635

It is important for Pointe St-Charles to retain its YMCA. The day care centre is without doubt very important to parents who send their kids; especially the quality of the day care.

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

#639

The population of Pointe St-Charles need and deserves services that the Y can provide at a reasonable price.

(Montreal, 2019-11-15)

#640

Because we need place like this for our kids today and for the future kids

(Verdun, 2019-11-15)

#646

We need to keep this community resource open; not downsize and/or relocate it.

(Saint bruno, 2019-11-16)

#647

we need this place, not more condos

(verdun, 2019-11-16)

I'm signing because this is an important place for the youth and community of Pte. St-Charles.

Mon enfant va au CPE PSC

(Montréal, 2019-11-16)

#654

The Y is an key institution for a vulnerable and underserved population of the city.

(montreal, 2019-11-16)

#656

I work at the CPE inside the YMCA

(Montréal, 2019-11-16)

#658

That’s my Y.

(Montreal, 2019-11-16)

The Y building in the Point generates more memories for generations of the Irish of Montreal than possibly any other building!

(Peterborough, 2019-11-16)

I grew up on Ash Avenue and lived at The Boys and Girls Club for many many years. So very sad to see what is happening.

(Montreal, 2019-11-16)

#666

The YMCA is an integral part of the neighborhood. Its present location is where it's most needed.

(Montreal, 2019-11-16)

#675

I think it's important for children in that area to have a place to go to after school and for summer camp . You take the Y away and what will the children have ?

(Knowlton, 2019-11-16)

#678

The Y programs benefit everyone in the surrounding community! My children go there for after school and have had a very positive experience. Losing the programs and people who care and give so much to the kids in these programs will be a devastating blow. Point-St Charles needs a space where all kids get to be equals and parents can have affordable and quality aftercare for their children. The Y offers this and should be protected by whatever means necessary.

(Montreal, 2019-11-16)

A founding premise of the YMCA as a non-profit charitable organization was to provide opportunities for personal growth, community involvement and leadership. Take these opportunities away from those areas where the need is the greatness is unconscionable.

(Hudson, 2019-11-16)

Do not believe the CEO he is lying to all of us

(Laval, 2019-11-16)

#693

I agree the CEO is lying I bet no one is trying to place for those kids they will wait to the end we need to help and fast

The ymca is a landmark in Pointe St Charles

(Montreal, 2019-11-16)

#709

These program cuts are unacceptable in lower income neighbourhoods. We are striving for equal opportunity in Canada and QC—it is what we are known for and what makes us again and again model societies. This goes against everything we espouse. Budget cuts to the 3 least profitable YMCAs in the city because they are not bringing in profit?? Come on... this model happens everywhere— other Ys can afford to pay the bill for the sake of the collective good. C’est ça l’état providence... when did we lose aight of this at such a small scale??

(Montreal, 2019-11-16)

#711

Every community deserves a place where the whole population can come together. The Point St Charles Y is that place Don’t take away a much needed resource

(Dorval, 2019-11-16)

The YMCA is a much needed facility for the health and welfare in the Point St. Charles. A definite mistake to close!
To tear down and build more GREENSPACE!!

(Lasalle, 2019-11-16)

#766

We need to keep community services alive considering the gentrification that is taking over PSCH and the loss of social and community spaces for residents of the Pointe

(Montréal, 2019-11-16)

It is a part of who we are. For generations we have gone there for one reason or another. It is a place that holds great memories for the past and the future. The ever changing community needs it. Keep it open.

(Dorval, 2019-11-16)

#776

The families of PSC need the Y more than ever, it is a vulnerable neighbourhood still and the Y’s mission is to help those most in need! Don’t let our kids down!
