Rates and fees

7. How can I change my plan?

Please stop by the customer experience counter or call the Customer Experience Support Centre to change your membership plan. We will change the colour of your card and have you sign a new contract. There are no fees to change from an old membership plan to a POLY, MULTY, or OMNY plan. However, a transfer fee will apply if you downgrade to a lower-cost membership.

All membership plans are eligible for financial assistance, except the Plus membership.

9. Do you offer any discounts?

We offer reduced rates for certain age groups (teens and seniors), and children aged 0 to 11 can access the centre for free when accompanied by an adult member. Additionally, with our referral program, members will get a credit in their account when they refer a new member (someone who has never been a YMCA member in the past) to us. We also have a financial assistance program, which allows eligible participants to get a reduced rate on our membership plans based on their financial situation.

Referral program
