Member Etiquette is a reminder that we have expectations of people’s behaviour and how participants, volunteers and staff treat each other.

"The YMCA is a shared experience for everyone to enjoy. Each of us can make it better for all by being considerate to others. YMCA members, staff and volunteers all pledge to treat one another with respect and dignity"
