Struggling financially, the Langford YMCA recreation centre needs council to double its funding to keep its doors open.
It opened seven years ago, but it turns out Langford’s YMCA is having trouble staying afloat.
“We never really cracked the nut of generating enough revenues from the membership to cover all the operating costs,” said YMCA/YWCA Vancouver Island CEO Derek Gent. “Which allows us to stay open and keep operating, and then we work toward a longer-term solution,” said Gent.Monday night. And it turns out it’s not the only budget issue they’ll grapple with.
“It’s a necessity, a lot of us come five days a week, great for those of us who have to rehab injuries,” said Bernadette Armstrong.
