With land from the city, a new CEO, new board members and a community support group behind it, a re-energized YM-YWCA is moving full speed ahead with its plan to build a $12-million facility next to Earl Haig Park.

In the short period of time the Y must:

Vacate its longtime building on Queen Street by the end of August;
Take up quarters in a revamped transitional facility in the old Work Wear building at Wellington and Clarence streets, to be called the Family Program Centre. Move-in is tentatively scheduled for the first week of September;
And undertake the first stages of planning for its new facility.
