Building Healthy Communities


At the heart of everything we do at the YMCA-YWCA of the National Capital Region is our belief in human potential. We believe that all people should have the opportunity to realize their dreams, regardless of their age, background, ability or economic circumstance.

At the Y, we put this belief into practice every day by nurturing the potential of children, teens and young adults because they are the foundation of our future. Ensuring that all children have the opportunity to develop into strong and confident adults has immeasurable benefits. Healthy kids grow up to become healthy adults. This is what building healthy communities is all about.

As a Y supporter, you play a key role in our ability to serve our community. Your support allows us to eliminate the financial barriers families face so that all children, teens, and young adults can have the same opportunities to thrive.

You give us tremendous power to change lives. In this report, we will introduce you to three young people who have experienced first-hand, the impact of your support. Because of you, children like Paetyn, teenagers like Carina, and young adults like Amanda are overcoming immense obstacles and finding the courage and confidence they need to reach their full potential.

These are just a few of the many inspiring ways that the Y is impacting real people in our community. We are proud of our many significant achievements over the past 12 months; but we are most proud of the lives that are being changed through the Y’s presence in the National Capital Region.

But we can’t do it alone. We need our donors, staff members, volunteers and community partners’ help to ensure that no person is denied access to the support and encouragement they need to succeed.

Together with your help, we are shaping the community we want: a community comprised of strong, vibrant and healthy children, teens and young adults.

A Message to the Community



Nurturing the Potential of Children, Teens and Young AdultsHealthy kids are the foundation and the future for building a healthy community.

We help kids in the National Capital Region grow stronger, more confident and most importantly, believe in their own potential.

“Paetyn had difficulty communicating; she preferred to be in her bubble.”Our four-year-old daughter, Paetyn, has Autism Spectrum Disorder, which affects her ability to communicate and interact with other people. As a family, we work regularly with speech and occupational therapists to help Paetyn learn and grow.

Last year, we were referred to the Y’s Licensed Child Care program by our social worker, who thought the enriched learning environment would be helpful for Paetyn’s social development.

After several months at the Y, we saw noticeable changes in Paetyn’s behaviour. She started sharing space with others, instead of isolating herself in her own bubble. As the weeks progressed, Paetyn also began to communicate more. She started saying her shapes and colours, and really just seemed to thrive.

The structure of the Y’s curriculum, and the stimulating learning environment, has helped in Paetyn’s progress. The child care staff is extremely caring and very attentive to Paetyn’s needs. She loves everything about the program, especially going swimming and playing in the Y’s Kid’s Zones.

We are grateful to the Y for providing a safe, supportive environment for our daughter to learn and grow. Paetyn is flourishing and developing new skills that she will have for life. We are so thrilled that the Y is part of our family.

Children are more likely to succeed socially and academically if they are ready to learn when they begin school.1 26% of senior kindergarten children in Ottawa score low on one Early Development domain.2

We help children flourish through our innovative Playing to Learn program, where we create quality learning experiences for children through play. Our Playing to Learn curriculum is designed to build a capacity for, and love of, lifelong learning in young children.

2,833 children, including Paetyn, now have more opportunities for success having participated in our Playing to Learn program through Y Licensed Child Care.

Paetyn is now building the foundation she needs for lifelong learning.

NURTURING THE POTENTIAL OF CHILDREN

“I didn’t want my friends to drive me home. They didn’t know I had no home to go to.”I was starting my last year of high school when things started to unravel at home. After returning to Ottawa from a stay out west, my parents couldn’t find a place to live. For a while we stayed with family members, but we soon found ourselves with nowhere to go.

That’s when we found the Y. My mom, dad and I lived in the Y’s Family Shelter while I finished school and my parents worked towards finding a permanent home.

It was difficult living in a shelter, but everyone at the Y was so nice, it made us feel normal again. They treated us with dignity and respect. Sometimes the stress of school and our living situation was too much.

But my family pulled together. We supported one another and also found encouragement from Y staff. It was tough, but I worked hard and studied at night in the lobby of the Y, where I could access Wi-Fi.

After five months at the Y, we found a home of our own. My mom now has a fulltime job and I will be attending university this fall on a $12,000 scholarship. I’m pursuing my passion for visual arts because I know I can achieve my dreams.

The Y supported us through a difficult time in our lives, helping us reach our goals and believe in ourselves again. Now, we’re excited about our future.

Becoming homeless can be a traumatic and devastating experience for children and youth that can have potential long-term impacts on personal development, educational achievement, social relationships and health.3 1,900 children and youth in Ottawa used a homeless shelter in 2013.4

We help individuals and families address the barriers that limit their potential to leading healthier, more secure lives.

485 people in crisis, including Carina, found a safe haven and caring support through our Y Family Shelter.

Carina and her family have found stable housing and new hope for the future.

NURTURING THE POTENTIAL OF TEENS

“After months of searching, I was starting to doubt that I’d ever find a job.”As a new graduate, I was eager to land my first real fulltime job. I worked hard sending out resumes and going to networking events, but nothing was happening.

Then my mom told me about the Y’s Employment Access Centre (EAC). She had received help through the EAC updating her own resume and thought the staff could be of assistance.

I went in to check it out and started to receive help immediately. They helped me with my resume and suggested different resources to assist me in my search. They also connected me to a job developer who assessed my career goals and made suggestions based on my skillset.

Everyone at the Y was so friendly, I felt like I was part of a family. The staff went above and beyond to help me find a job. They knew about many positions that were not posted online.

Eventually, the Y secured me a placement at a local non-profit organization through Employment Ontario’s Youth Employment Fund, which provides paid job placement opportunities for youth so they can gain the experience needed for longer-term employment. One month later, I was offered the position on a permanent basis. Thanks to the Y, I was able to gain the employment experience I needed to get a better paying job. I’m now working fulltime in a position I love and advancing my career goals.

The unemployment rate for Ontario youth 15-29 years is 15.4%, more than double Ontario’s overall jobless rate of 7.4%5.

We connect people with hiring employers, equipping them to become financially independent and strong contributors to our community.

9,711 people of all ages, including Amanda, gained access to the resources and training required to find and keep a job through our Employment and Enterprise services.

Amanda has found meaningful employment and launched her career.

NURTURING THE POTENTIAL OF YOUNG ADULTS

Your support helps ensure that:• More children like Paetyn, develop a love of

lifelong learning,

• More teens like Carina get a chance to believe in themselves and,

• More young adults like Amanda become engaged, contributing members of our community.

Because of you, Paetyn, Carina and Amanda have the opportunity to reach their potential.

Together, we are shaping the community we want; a community comprised of strong, vibrant and healthy children, teens and young adults.

2013 Highlights

Healthy Habits Start EarlyWe believe healthy kids are the foundation and the future of a healthy community. 919 children, across seven school boards, participated in our Y Kids Academy, a program offered free to all grade six students that inspires leadership and teaches the importance of a healthy lifestyle. A partnership with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario was put in place to formally evaluate the impact of our Y Kids Academy. The results of this evaluation will inform our future initiatives to encourage healthy, active lifestyles for children.

You Belong at the Carlingwood YThrough an unprecedented collaborative effort, Y members, volunteers, partners and staff worked together to gain member support, allowing us to confirm our return to the Carlingwood community. Opening the Carlingwood Y means we can support the healthy development of this growing and underserviced neighbourhood with child, family, adult and older adult programming.

Essential Services for Families in CrisisFamilies staying in our Y Shelter were able to benefit from an expanded partnership with the Centretown Community Health Centre, which provides essential services to parents and children including parent supports, access to health information, connection to community resources, and weekly family events.

Increasing Opportunities for Immigrants Power of Trades, a program providing training and support for immigrants who want to work in the skilled trades, secured new funding from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. This funding allowed the program to expand and continue to offer great workplace and culture training to immigrant tradespeople.

YMCA-YWCA OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION | 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Expanding Access to Language Assessment ServicesOur Language Assessment and Referral Centre (LARC), which provides immigrants with English and French language assessments for federally funded government programs, confirmed an expansion of services and will now deliver the Coordinated Language Assessment and Referral System, serving both federally and provincially-funded language programs. LARC, in collaboration with partners, also works to identify gaps and industry trends, while addressing community needs for language classes and support services. Last year, 3,858 people accessed LARC’s services.

Celebrating TRY’s SuccessIn partnership with the City of Ottawa, our TRY Supportive Housing Program for Women assists women who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The City, with Mayor Jim Watson, co-hosted a community event at our Taggart Family Y celebrating the TRY program’s success and expansion, and highlighted the inspirational achievements of current and past participants. 81 women who were homeless or at risk of homelessness, found supportive housing and a caring community through the TRY Supportive Housing Program for Women at the Y. This represents a 35% growth in the program from 2012 to 2013.

Ontario Partnership for Youth EmploymentThe Y’s Employment Access Centres began helping more young people with their employment goals through the Youth Employment Fund, an initiative developed as part of the Ontario government’s new Youth Jobs Strategy. This Employment Ontario program addresses the high unemployment rate among 15-29 year olds in Ontario, and reduces barriers to employment by offering subsidized job placements. Together, we are enabling young people and helping them develop valuable skills and experience they can use to secure a permanent fulltime job.

21

2013 Highlights


Spotlight on EntrepreneursOur Enterprise Centre hosted its annual Y Biz Expo, where over 400 visitors celebrated 93 aspiring entrepreneurs who had completed the Ontario Self-Employment Benefit program at the Y. Graduates showcased their new businesses and Mayor Jim Watson delivered the keynote address and offered Ottawa City Hall as the venue for the 2014 Y Biz Expo. Last year, 130 new small businesses were launched and $2.7 million in revenue was generated from businesses created through the program.

Taggart Family Recognized as Outstanding Corporate PhilanthropistGenerous donors and co-chairs of our Strengthening the Heart of Our Community Capital Campaign, the Taggart family sets an example for charitable donations and philanthropic activities in our community by providing approximately $1 million annually to local community causes. Last year the Taggart Group of Companies was honoured by the Ottawa Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals and recognized as the 2013 Outstanding Corporate Philanthropist.

Community Connections for NewcomersOur Newcomer Information Centre moved to the Taggart Family Y and is now co-located with the Employment Access Centre. The move allows us to provide a seamless and high standard of client service to our newcomer clients who are looking for settlement and employment assistance. It has resulted in an increase in the number of people accessing our services as well as providing direct access to complimentary programs offered at the Y. Last year, 1,863 newcomers received information and referral services through the Y’s Newcomer Information Centre.

2013 Highlights


Every Kid Deserves a Chance1 in 5 kids in our community require financial assistance to join a Y program. In 2013, our donors generously gave $305,817 to our annual giving campaign, including $113,000 to our Y Strong Kids campaign. Our Y Strong Kids campaign helps those children who require financial assistance, participate in Y programs and services, and flourish in a healthy and positive environment.

Giving Families Access to Child CareWe were proud to continue our partnership with Canadian Tire Jumpstart to offer financial aid to parents who require assistance to enroll their children in our Y Kids Club – Powered by Canadian Tire Jumpstart. This recreational before and after school care program offers children an opportunity to enjoy sports and activities that promote healthy development, build self-confidence, and teach leadership skills.

Sharing Common Goals at CampThe Bonnenfant Y Outdoor Education and Leadership Centre confirmed a multi-year contract with the Canadian Diabetes Association to co-host a special camp for two weeks each August. In addition to hosting our regular Y outdoor summer camps, we provide support staff and run programs for the Canadian Diabetes Association’s resident camp called Camp Banting. Together, we offer children and youth who are living and coping with Diabetes the chance to explore nature and feel included within a safe environment.

Teaming Up With the Ottawa SkyhawksNBL Canada basketball team, the Ottawa Skyhawks, launched their inaugural year in Ottawa in 2013, partnering with the Y and naming the Ruddy Family Y in Orleans as their official training facility. The Skyhawks franchise not only trains at our facility, but as partners, they will offer clinics, host fundraising events, and encourage young athletes.

700 committed volunteers, including Brenda and Mike, contributed 65,000 hours of service last year to our Y.

“Some people shy away from working with youth, but they’re the ones who need us the most.”When our daughter, Krystle, started working at the Y, it was an eye-opening experience for all of us.

As the coordinator for the Y’s Second Stage Housing Program for youth, Krystle interacts with young people who are no longer able to live at home, and need some assistance as they move towards independence. When she heard how some of them were struggling to buy groceries, we knew we had to do something to help.

My husband, Mike, started cooking big pots of chili and stew to send with Krystle to work. It was amazing to see how this small gesture was received. The kids absolutely loved it!

It was so gratifying to be able to meet their need, we wanted to do more.

When my employer - Lûxe Home Interiors - heard what we were doing, they wanted to help. The Y’s Second Stage Housing Program aligns with Lûxe’s belief in supporting youth because it gives at-risk teens a safe, supportive environment to live and helps them learn important life-skills.

With Lûxe’s help, Mike and I initiated the first Heart to Home fundraiser in 2012. It’s a fun, social event where people come together in support of youth, and bid on some great auction items donated by many of Lûxe’s suppliers.

Since that time, Heart to Home has grown to include support from many different individuals and corporations, as well as great media and celebrity sponsorships. We have raised over $12,000 for the Second Stage Housing Program so far, with plans to raise even more.
