MESSAGE FROM
BOARD CHAIR AND CEO
Every year, our YMCA strives to offer our community
access to quality programs and services that help
residents and their families reach their full potential
and live happier, healthier lives. We continue to
grow with health and wellness facilities in Cobourg
and Brighton, 13 licensed Child Care Centres, 7
seasonal sites, 6 Ontario Early Years Centres and our
international partnership with YMCA Nicaragua. Each
of these program centres are committed to providing
a welcoming community for everyone.
Believing that health is something that happens
between us, in the context of community, we
continue to strengthen the foundations of our
organization with the goal of delivering lasting social
and personal change to our fellow residents.
In support of this goal, the Board of Directors of YMCA
Northumberland and the YMCA of Greater Toronto
voted unanimously in December 2015 to renew the
existing management agreement for another year,
giving each Association the opportunity to continue
to explore the implications of integration.
In May 2015, the Project Coordinating Committee
began to explore partnership opportunities with the
Town of Cobourg regarding the building of a new
facility.
Our Child Care Department expanded to include
three new sites: Plainville, Spring Valley and
Camborne, which increases our Child Care operations
to 13 sites, currently serving over 650 families.
At our YMCA Camp Tiki, we launched the “Rise and
Shine Breakfast” and the “Let’s Do Lunch” programs
to ensure every camper had access to healthy meals
every day. We also introduced the YMCA’s Value Bead
Program to support pro-social behaviour between
campers.
In this past year, our Strong Kids Campaign exceeded
its goal and raised $198,236, through the generous
contributions from our donors and corporate
partners. These funds provide financial assistance
to community members who wish to access our
programs but are unable to afford fees. $22,000 was
raised through Operation Red Nose – providing over
220 safe rides to residents during the holiday season.
We will continue to explore paths to strengthen YMCA
Northumberland and provide more growth and
opportunities for our community. With your support,
we are nurturing positive change in the lives of many
of our community members.
Thank you for continuing to inspire us to find ways
to serve more people in our community. We look
forward to another successful year!

THE
POWER OF
COMMUNITY
HOW ABEER AND HER FAMILY FOUND HOME
07
A
beer Al-Salihi and her family arrived in Canada
with limited income and very few friends and
family, but it didn’t take them long to become
a part of the YMCA Northumberland family.
After living in Syria all her life, Abeer married
her husband and then they moved to the United Arab
Emirates (UAE) where she took a job as a civil engineer
assistant. Not long after moving, Abeer had her first child,
Abdulla. Unhappy with her work, she decided to pursue her
passion for teaching and children by starting a new career
path at ABC’s Nursery in Sharjah, UAE. After two years at the
nursery, Abeer received a job teaching kindergarten at a
private school in Dubai, UAE, and one year later, she had her
daughter, Sama. She absolutely loved her career and her coworkers, but after seven years of teaching children, learning
new things and improving her English, Abeer decided it was
time to start a new adventure in Canada.
In 2014, Abeer and her family moved to Cobourg with the
hopes that the small town atmosphere would give her an
opportunity to understand, appreciate and connect with
Canadian culture and habits. Although she researched
many Arabic communities in Mississauga and Scarborough,
Abeer knew in her heart she wanted to come to Canada to
be Canadian, and Cobourg could give her and her family
that experience.
Since I arrived, the YMCA
considered me part of
their family. The staff
care about my kids,
respect my religion
and everyone is always
happy. I just love being a
part of the YMCA.
Upon arrival, Abeer approached YMCA Northumberland
to inquire about how her family may be eligible for a
membership with limited income. Through the YMCA
Strong Kids Opportunity Fund, in partnership with
funds raised through the Northumberland United Way
annual campaign, Abeer and her family were granted a
fully sponsored family membership so they could enjoy
programs and services at the Cobourg YMCA. At 11 years
old, Abdulla immediately joined the Y Waves swim team, a
youth leadership program and wrestling, while 7 year old,
Sama joined swim lessons and gymnastics.
“Having a membership allowed my kids to play sports, meet
new friends and take part in fun and new activities,” says
Abeer. “They have gained so much confidence and enjoy
all the programs they are involved with. To my kids, the
Cobourg YMCA is their second home.”
While Abdulla and Sama explored a variety of youth
programs, Abeer became a familiar face at the Cobourg
YMCA, especially to Coordinator of Membership Services,
Nancy Little and to whom Abeer enjoyed sharing her stories
from her experience teaching in the UAE. Realizing her
potential, Nancy encouraged Abeer to continue her passion
in Cobourg by volunteering in the Cobourg YMCA Ontario
Early Years Centre (OEYC). Excited about the opportunity,
Abeer applied for a position and began volunteering in
September 2015.
“We want to welcome people to our community and make
them feel at home at our YMCA,” says Nancy. “Through
conversations with Abeer, I could tell she had a passion for
children and she really missed her career. I am so pleased
we are able to give families, like Abeer’s, the opportunity to
enjoy the YMCA and its programs, while they get to know
the community.”
The Cobourg YMCA staff were impressed by Abeer’s
experience and abilities, so they suggested she apply for
the new employment opportunity that had been recently
posted with YMCA Child Care. Within a couple weeks, Abeer
was hired as a Child Care Assistant for the after-school Child
Care at C.R. Gummow Public School in Cobourg, with plans
to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education.
After arriving in Cobourg with limited resources and no
social connections, Abeer’s children now participate in fun
and healthy activities, meeting new friends and building
confidence, while Abeer enjoys her new job and continues
her volunteering at the Cobourg OEYC. Although, Abdulla is
only 11 years old, he is already looking forward to becoming
a YMCA volunteer and eventually training to become a
certified lifeguard.
“Since I arrived, the YMCA considered me part of their
family. The staff care about my kids, respect my religion and
everyone is always happy,” says Abeer. “I just love being a
part of the YMCA.”

IMPACT
STORIES
GABE’S IMPACT
As a very proud volunteer, Gabe Walters has certainly
made an impact on the staff and members at the
Cobourg YMCA over the last 12 years.
Gabe has lived within Northumberland County all
his life. He has been involved with Community Living
West Northumberland for the past 26 years, which
has given him many opportunities to enjoy fun
activities, engage in healthy living, meet new friends
and volunteer at the Cobourg YMCA. Gabe began
volunteering at the Cobourg YMCA in 2004 and every
Thursday morning he assists with administrative
duties, greets members and participants, gives
compliments and welcomes everyone to the facility
with a warm smile.
“I think Gabe's biggest impact is that he greets every
member passing by with a handshake or a hug,” says
Leslie Murray, General Manager of the Cobourg YMCA.
“It doesn't matter who they are, or if he knows them,
he just enjoys spreading good will and cheer.”
Gabe loves spending time with his family and friends
and always looks forward to social outings and
shopping trips with Community Living. He also enjoys
martial arts, playing baseball, watching wrestling,
working out and swimming at the YMCA. Gabe is very
active in the community and has become a familiar
face for many at the Cobourg YMCA.
“Gabe’s presence in the lobby is very welcoming,” says
Tracey Dafoe, Coordinator of Volunteers. “He definitely
lights up a room with his loveable nature and people
always smile after he greets them.”
Gabe always has a way of making everyone’s day a
little brighter. He truly embodies the values of the
YMCA and proves a warm hug, a big smile and kind
words can go a long way.
HAYDEN’S SECOND CHANCE
It has never been easy for Hayden. His childhood
lacked the guidance and support children require in
their early years.
At 11 years old, Hayden began living full-time with
his great-grandparents, Sheila and Garfield, who
had recently gained full custody of him. He was
enrolled in a new school and was encouraged to
join extra-curricular activities to meet new friends
and enjoy physical activity. Growing up, Hayden was
never given the opportunity to play sports and join
programs and activities. However, Hayden had always
enjoyed swimming, so joining the Gators Swim Team
at the YMCA Campbellford outdoor swimming pool
seemed like a good fit. The swim team gave him
the opportunity to meet new friends and enhance
his swim skills during the summer months. Sheila
remembers many days where Hayden would be at
the pool all afternoon, come home for dinner and
then return for a last swim of the day.
Keeping Hayden active and involved in as many
sports and activities as possible is a top priority
for Sheila and Garfield, but it has also proven
to be quite a financial challenge for the senior
couple. Fortunately, there are many resources in
the community to provide support for their family,
including the YMCA Strong Kids Opportunity Fund.
The more Hayden swam, the more costly it became
to purchase a day pass every time Hayden wanted to
go for a swim. After learning more about the Strong
Kids Campaign, Sheila applied for financial assistance
with the hopes they may be eligible for financial
subsidy. Sheila’s application was approved and not
only did Hayden receive a summer membership for
the swimming pool, but the annual swim team fee
was also covered.
Hayden will soon be 13 years old, and he continues
to enjoy many other activities in the community
including hockey, baseball, basketball, track and field
and snowboarding. Thanks to the support from the
YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, other local community
organizations and his great-grandparents, Hayden
can look forward to a healthy future filled with love,
support and play.
JEFF SEYMOUR
Four years ago, Jeff realized he wasn’t happy with
the way he looked or felt. He wanted to improve his
physical fitness and overall health, so he decided to
join the Brighton YMCA.
Living with OCD, ADHD and Tourette’s Syndrome,
keeping physically active is really important for Jeff
and helps him to release energy and stay focused. He
has developed many long-lasting friendships with
staff and other members and enjoys going to the
YMCA everyday knowing he will be surrounded by
people who will motivate him to do his best.
Joining the Brighton YMCA helped Jeff find the
confidence he was lacking in order to live a happy,
healthy life. He enjoys being involved in the
community, sharing advice and impacting the lives of
others, so giving back to the YMCA community was
an easy decision.
“Jeff is an active participant in group fitness classes,
workouts with friends and is always a willing
participant to help with our fundraising activities or
promotion,” says Anne Gear, Manager at the Brighton
YMCA. “Through Jeff’s actions, he has shown the
impact the Y has had on him and will vocalise his
appreciation of the Brighton Y within his community.”
Jeff is a true supporter of the YMCA and often
volunteers whenever he can. Whether it’s fixing
equipment, helping new members or creating new
music playlists, Jeff is always willing to help. The
Brighton YMCA is a small community of familiar faces,
new friends and welcoming staff and members,
who are dedicated to motivating others to achieve
their personal best. Jeff is currently training with
other members for the Spartan 5K and 10K race this
summer at Brimacombe, after completing the 5K race
last year.
“If you want to improve your health and fitness, my
one piece of advice is don’t ever give up,” says Jeff. “If
there is a point when you look at yourself and you are
still not happy with the way you look and feel, you
have to just keep going. In the end, it will be worth it.”

A
fter a courageous battle with
cancer, Happy Mireault, a longtime YMCA employee, friend
and community ambassador passed
away March 11, 2016. This story is
dedicated in memory of Happy and
the positive impact that she made in
people’s lives. Happy was a dedicated
employee of YMCA Northumberland
and impacted the lives of many
people around her. Her circle
expanded well beyond the borders
of Cobourg and Northumberland
County. She began working in Funds
Development in 1997 during the
Cobourg YMCA’s capital campaign,
but over the course of her career,
she embraced many other positions
including marketing, communications,
our annual Strong Kids Campaign,
development and international.
In 2000, when we partnered with
YMCA Nicaragua, in collaboration
with YMCA Canada and the Montreal
YMCA, to provide support for youth
development programs, Happy
began fostering relationships locally,
nationally and internationally to
ensure all programs were successful.
In 2002, Happy helped develop a local
group called Women Para Mujeres
“Women for Women” which consisted
of staff, volunteers, International
Committee members and mothers
of youth exchange participants who
wanted to continue to engage in
and support women’s projects in
Nicaragua. She was the driving force
behind the success of many of our
Y events: Golf Tournament, Youth
Exchange, Speaker Series and of
course Peace Week / Peace Medal
celebrations. Happy volunteered with
other organizations in our community
as well including, Horizons of
Friendships and Trinity United Church
to build stronger relationships and
work together on international
projects. Without a doubt, Happy’s
creativity, selflessness and unique
flavour for art and culture made her a
valuable member of the YMCA team,
enabling her to travel and enjoy many
different aspects of the YMCA. Happy’s
passion for community engagement
inspired others to get involved and
create positive change. She had an
incredible ability to make everyone
around her feel welcome, comfortable
and eager to participate. Through
active programs and exchanges,
Happy created meaningful, lasting
relationships that continue to benefit
youth in our community and abroad.
Throughout her career and volunteer
work, Happy proved a little hope,
kindness and passion can greatly
impact the lives of those around
us with positive results. Whether
it was our local, national or global
community, Happy always had a
wonderful smile and a way of sharing
her true passion and dedication for
building healthy, strong communities.
Happy inspired others to achieve their
best and strive for a better, brighter
future and the impact on all she
touched is immeasurable.

Our Community Partners
Through cooperation with our community partners we are expanding the available resources and
services available to families and individuals in Northumberland County through the YMCA. We know
there is a greater demand than ever before for help to address social needs, health concerns and
adversity. In order to create meaningful change in these areas we know we must call on the collective
strength of our neighbours and work together.
