Given the unprecedented circumstances related to the global spread of COVID-19, we have decided to postpone The Fredericton YMCA Inc. AGM originally scheduled for April 27th. A new date for the AGM will be set once the New Brunswick Department of Health provides guidance that such gatherings can be done safely.
Due to facility closures, the YMCA of Fredericton Spring Session and Summer Camp registration is on hold. We appreciate the support of our YMCA family and the community at large as we take measures to reduce the spread of this virus. #Community
Temporary Full Facility Closure The YMCA of Fredericton’s main priority is the health of our staff, members and the broader community. As a socially responsible community organization, we feel it is important to help with our Community’s efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19.
The health of our staff, members and the broader community is our priority. We are following the advice of Public Health Agencies and announce the following update that will take effect immediately. All registered programs, including youth, swim lessons and adult registered programs will end for the Winter Session effective today, March 15th. Program specific assessment information will be sent to parents from their respective department managers in the upcoming days. For the next fourteen (14) days, we will have a modified Group Fitness Schedule. While we work to confirm this schedule, Group Fitness Classes will be postponed until Tuesday, March 17th. A modified schedule will be released Monday evening, March 16th.
The YMCA of Fredericton is ready to respond in alignment with the information and guidance from Health Canada and supporting agencies. The YMCA is currently taking steps both in terms of prevention (ie hygiene and housekeeping practices), preparedness and our response in the event of an outbreak. We have a number of systems, policies and activities that occur on a daily basis in our ongoing effort to keep our community safe and to react if needed.
You may have heard through the news or social media about Coronavirus (COVID-19), which is raising health concerns across the globe. Although a small number of confirmed or presumptive cases of the virus have been identified in this country, Health Canada, the New Brunswick Department of Health and other agencies have stated that the risk to Canadians remains low. This outbreak is being closely monitored by all relevant agencies in our province and federally.
