Hello! Thanks for looking at my petition. I am just a stay-at-home mom trying to make life easier for other stay-at-home parents!
Recently, in Grimsby, we were lucky enough to have a YMCA open. Unfortunately, I feel as though it falls short in catering to the needs of parents.
If you happen to have a preschool aged child who attends school in the mornings, signing up for a YMCA membership would be a waste of money. The day care centre is only open in the mornings, and they only offer their "Active Kids" programming in the mornings/evenings, absolutely nothing in the afternoons!
I looked at every YMCA schedule in Niagara and with the exception of the Walker Family YMCA, not any other facility offers afternoons programs for children 3-5 years old in the afternoons, leaving us parents stuck with having to find outside entertainment.
I'm not asking the YMCA to fill the schedule with afternoon programming, I am asking the YMCA to consider adding afternoon programming a couple days a week to even the balance and give every adult and child an opportunity to enjoy the facilities.
Please sign and pass on!
