The YMCA-YWCA of Northeast Avalon's Stories



The polished rock was taken from the North Atlantic at Middle Cove Beach near St. John’s, Newfoundland.  It is best known for its steep cliffs and rough seas. 

This second rock comes from the site of the new YMCA-YWCA in Pippy Park on land donated by the City of St. John’s.  The Association's current location on New Cove Road is too small and this new facility will give us the chance to grow. 

The third item is a cancelled stamp issued in 1949 to commemorate the entry of Newfoundland into the confederation with Canada.
