The YMCA of Windsor was planted in the Border Cities area in 1868. Over the last 140 years, we have become a leader in helping individuals stay or become healthy. We give individuals the tools and opportunities to grow as leaders.
Our first building was a joint centre for young men and women, with recreational facilities and residential accommodation. The idea was developed by a coalition of prominent community leaders and came to life in 1926. This artifact is a piece of a door to a residence room, likely a transom. It is a reminder of our residence which served as a “first home away from home” for thousands of young adults more than eight decades. .
This building was retired in the early 90s so that we could take up new tools to reach a new generation.
