Montréal’s 375th – Happy Anniversary Everyone!!!

The YMCAs of Québec - May 17 2017

Celebrating their 165th anniversary this year, the YMCAs of Québec and Montréal have long history together. In fact, North America’s first YMCA opened on November 25, 1851, on the corner of Rue des Récollets and Rue Sainte-Hélène in what is today Old Montréal.

What are we wishing for on Montréal’s anniversary? To create strong, healthy, dynamic and lively neighbourhoods that encourages individuals and communities to reach their full potential.

Happy anniversary to Montréal and all Montrealers!
