I believe the community benefits from having this ymca it would be a tragedy to see it go.. the surrounding schools also benefit from it.

This is a crucial part of our community! Keep the YMCA there, it brings us together, and makes us healthy and happy.

This is terrible! Think about the children and their parents that will be affected by this! My sister has dedicated her time, energy and passion to helping the children at the YMCA PSC! Keep the YMCA PSC OPEN!

I can’t believe anybody that wants to close this place down it’s disgusting and pathetic of the CEO to put people through this Where are they going to relocate all these people if the Y is having so much trouble ceo is such a liar and I hope people called him out on it

This is so true where are they going to put all these people and these kids somebody’s not telling the truth and I heard that the CEO lives in a big house on the south shore really how could he live with himself

I use the Pointe St. Charles YMCA when I am in Montreal visiting my daughter and working locally. She lives on Rue Bourgeoys.

Slowly gentrification is destroying the fabric of old and established communities. It would be a great loss to the community it serves and disappointing to see another landmark taken away that makes the Point, the Point.

YMCA is part of our community and brings us together. Its place in front of parc Leber is where it should be.

(Montreal, 2019-11-20)

This is where my mother and father grew up during some of this country's most trying times! Also,my daughter who also has lived and worked in the point has used the Y to better herself physically, mentally and made her feel like part of this this great and historic community! The YMCA and it's current facility is iconic and should never be closed down or relocated for any reason ever!

The YMCA has been a part of my community for years. My daughters and I attend regularly and I can’t imagine life or the Pointe without it!

I attended the YMCA in Pt St. Charles for many years, used many of the services- including the pool when my son was small for swimming lessons, exercise for myself, etc. Also, was the president of the board of directors of a separate agency that rented space from the Y for some years. The YMCA provides many services and opportunities to the neighborhood. It is also the across the street from a from huge green space that can benefit members of the Y at the same time. Location, Location, Location. For the use of people who live nearby -, not expensive housing or any sort of development that will take away from the flavour and fabric of it's original raison d'etre. maria trudel

Nous aimons notre YMCA. C'est plus intéressant que des condos, non?

(Montréal, 2019-11-20)

Le YMCA est essentiel au maintien de la santé et de la diversité de notre quartier.

I’m signing for the sense of community and in the hope to save needed services, activities and space for the kids.

I am disgusted by the YMCA's decision to close this building. It has a long history of changing lives, particularly in this area. I suggest a member of the YMCA attend the "Point St. Charles Hall of Recognition" event held in the fall of every year. Thank you Carolyn MacGregor.

#1085

Keep the Y open! The community needs your services ALL of them!!!

(Montréal, 2019-11-22)

#1086

I use the gym for exercise (and have a family plan). Our son also attends day care there and we’re worried how day care will be impacted.

(Montreal, 2019-11-22)

#1088

We really need to stop this from happening where will these kids go it doesn’t make sense are they really going to find a place to accommodate
Disappointed with city and other partners that can’t step up and help

(Montreal, 2019-11-22)

#1089

It’s true I’m thinking twice and asking more questions before donating very disappointed with Y and other communities organizations help each other

(St Laurent, 2019-11-22)

#1090

All liars out there if they don’t find a solution for these kids disgusting pathetic and they use kids to get donations I hope someone helps in this situation

(Montreal, 2019-11-22)

The YMCA in Pointe St. Charles is an invaluable resource to the community it serves and week affect many people's lives if it were to shut down.

I remember travelling to Pt. St. Charles for swimming lessons in the winter before St. Lambert had an indoor pool. Keep this community treasure, where so many people can meet and be active!

I'm signing because PSC was home to me for for over 10 years and a saw first hand how important the local YMCA was to the community.

(Squamish, 2019-11-23)

The YMCA is an establishment offering critical and essential services to the community in pointe Saint Charles. The people of this nerighbourhood need this service.

(Montreal, 2019-11-23)

I am a resident of the Pointe for the last 10 years and am stunned by the decisions to amputate services at our local Y - including especially the impact on cultural activities.
Please review and revoke these decisions.

(Montreal, 2019-11-24)

#1146

It's an important place for the community and especially kids and families. Ymca is part of those families.

(Montreal, 2019-11-25)

#1155

I use the YMCA 4 x a week. Very important for the community of PSC.

Je signe cette pétition pour plusieurs raisons. Premièrement, ma conjointe et moi allions nous inscrire au YMCA à partir de la saison hiver mais à notre grande surprise nous avons appris que le YMCA allait fermé. Nous croyons que pour des raisons de santé publique le YMCA doit rester ouvert. La fermeture d'un centre d'activité communautaire ne doit pas cesser ses activités sans que la communauté ait pu tenter de trouver des solutions. Cette annonce est totalement irrespectueuse envers la communauté de la part du YMCA. Un tel centre est nécessaire pour des raisons de santé publique et communautaire pour l'ensemble de la population, des plus petits aux plus âgés.

Pour le maintien du YMCA dans ma communauté.

(Montreal, 2019-11-25)

#1163

I support the extraordinary local spirit of the community and the need for local resources for children.

(Montreal, 2019-11-25)

#1165

#1166

(montreal, 2019-11-25)

#1167

CEO will not come he will make ur directors do dirty work that's what he does
Y really treating their employees bad wake up CEO

(montreal, 2019-11-25)

#1170

The Y is supposed to serve the community and if there is one that definitely needs it is Pointe St. Charles

(Montreal, 2019-11-25)

#1171

It seems to me to be an area where such a community centre is most needed.

(Pointe-Claire, 2019-11-25)

#1174

Spread the word protest on Saturday nove 30 5:30
Tell everyone please

(Saint-Hubert, 2019-11-26)

#1175

I think everyone need to go support and protest on nov 30
But it’s sad that directors and coordinators and employees staff have to deal with all this and the CEO doesn’t show

(Montreal, 2019-11-26)

#1176

Children benefit from healthy activities and developing friendships in their home communities.

(Montreal, 2019-11-26)

#1177

I am signing because the YMCA Pt St Charles needs this resource so it can serve members of the community. You can't only have YMCA's in affluent neighbourhoods?

(Montreal, 2019-11-26)

#1179

(NDG, 2019-11-26)

The YMCA Pointe Ste Charles (aka the Boys and Girls Club has been an integral part of community life for so many years. It provided a place where children could take classes, participate in sports, socialize, swim, and so much more. It is a landmark in Pointe St Charles. Moving it would be a huge disappointment to past and present residents

(Montreal, 2019-11-26)

As a child I spent a lot of time there. When my parents didn’t care where I was. They cared enough to see me come back day after day. If the wall can talk, what stories can be told. Keep The YMCA open. Kids today have no clue that memories that be made.
