In 2020, we officially unified and became the YMCA of Three Rivers, allowing us to continue showing up for our communities where and how they have&nbsp;needed us most.The Three Rivers name was inspired by the history and legacy that rivers played in each of our communities, including the Avon, Grand, and Speed Rivers. Our name is a reflection of these rivers that have given and sustained life on these lands for centuries; lands that are the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Neutral Peoples. Much like the Y, rivers are places of connection. They bring people together. They unite. They foster growth and well-being. Across our communities, this is what the Y has worked to do. And, in unifying, it is our goal to continue doing this — to show up where and how our communities need us most, and work to meet current and emerging needs — well into the future.As one of the largest charities in our community, our goal is to ensure our Board of Directors and Committee Members represent a diversity of ideas, experiences, and perspectives. We are on a journey to ensure our Y is anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and continues to evolve through the lens of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ymcathreerivers.ca/jaide" target="_blank">Justice, Access,</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ymcathreerivers.ca/jaide" target="_blank">Inclusion, Diversity &amp; Equity (JAIDE)</a>.Our Justice, Access, Inclusion, Diversity, &amp; Equity (JAIDE) CommitmentOur JAIDE Journey is about how we take action to make our diverse communities healthier and more vibrant.
