Teen Council
At the YMCA, we're more than a gym. We're a place where you can be yourself, meet new friends and have fun. On Teen Night, youth can enjoy the YMCA however they want — for free! At all 9 of our Health & Fitness centres across the GTA, our gymnasiums, conditioning rooms, pools, dance studios and more are open for teens to get active, spend time together, and get involved in their communities.
