Organization hopes to boost membership, find new revenue partners and renegotiate some cost-sharing arrangements with the municipality
Sudbury's YMCA, which has sounded an alarm for the future of the downtown Sudbury operation, said Thursday there is hope the local building along with fitness and health programs can be saved by new investment in the future.
Reference was made to the fact that the Centre For Life building, roughly 88,000 square feet on Durham Street, was created more than 22 years ago with a condominium partnership between the YMCA, the municipality and other partners, who all used different parts of the operation. She said the Northeastern Ontario YMCA was a popular health and wellness organization two decades ago. But Francis said things have changed. She didn't sugarcoat the message.
Currently the number is now around 3,100. Despite that, Francis said the Northeastern Ontario YMCA with Sudbury still has the second best post-pandemic recovery rate in Ontario. "So who else can we bring back into the building; other partners that can well use that space, some synergies with all the other occupants within the building, generate revenue, kind of really defray some of the occupancy costs," said Francis.
