This piece of wood is an original beam circa World War II. It was cut from the attic above the front lobby in the YMCA of Prince Edward Island. The YMCA is housed in a building from the #10 Bombing and Gunnery School in Mount Pleasant. It was bought in 1952 and became the first of four buildings that are known as the YMCA on the island today.
YMCA facilities tell a different story about the place and time in which they were constructed or acquired. Still, they share a common purpose: to provide a foundation upon which community can be built and sustained over time.
