Today, YMCA Hamilton | Burlington | Brantford was honoured to host Meridian Credit Union’s Social Impact team as they visited our Hamilton Downtown Family YMCA to celebrate the approval of our funding through their Good Neighbour Program.

As part of Good Neighbour Day during Local Connections Week, they presented a $2,500 donation to support our work.

We’re grateful to Anthony Mancini, Nancy Campbell, and Amanda Bunz for taking the time to visit, learn more about our programs, and help raise awareness of the impact happening across our communities.

Meridian Credit Union has also been a long-time supporter of our Annual YMCA Peace Medal Breakfast, and we deeply value their continued commitment to strengthening the communities we serve.

Together, we’re building a healthier, more connected region for all.

For four summers, 10-year-old Julian and his family have made their annual journey to YMCA Wanakita’s Family Camp—a place that’s become a blend of tradition, adventure, and connection. From the archery field, to beach days, and evenings around the fire, Wanakita has shaped some of Julian’s favourite memories. But in 2026, the camp became the source of something even more special: his winning design for the Wanakita T‑shirt design contest.

We were proud to bring together community leaders, partners, volunteers and supporters in Burlington to celebrate the power of belonging, resilience and connection.
We were honoured to be joined by Natalie Pierre, MPP for Burlington; Gary Carr, Chair of Halton Region; and Marianne Meed Ward, Mayor of Burlington, alongside members of City Council—reflecting a shared commitment to strong, inclusive communities.
From insights shared in our 2025 Community Impact Report to early progress in our 2026 operating plan, the message was clear: when we work together, we create spaces where everyone can thrive.

This summer, every camper celebrating a birthday at Wanakita will receive a very special birthday card—featuring a design created by one of our talented campers!
We’re thrilled to share that Abby’s artwork made such a strong impression on our team that, while it wasn’t selected as the T-shirt contest winner, we knew it deserved to be celebrated in a meaningful way. With a few special touches, her design will be showcased on all of our 2026 birthday cards!
Abby, thank you for sharing your creativity with us—we absolutely love your work and can’t wait to celebrate with you at camp this summer!
