This sheaf of wheat comes from Brandon, Manitoba -- the Wonder City of the Northwest -- which was founded in 1881. The rapid growth of grain farming turned it into the Wheat City by 1886. This is the same year that a group of community-minded business people founded the YMCA of Brandon.
The YMCA has grown with the city while remaining at its centre. On the eve of its 125th anniversary, it is preparing to open a new facility -- the Dood Cristall YMCA -- right downtown.
Like wheat, the YMCA is a staple that leavens, nourishes and keep us healthy!
