e-2373 (Social affairs and equality)
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the House of Commons
- The YMCAs in Montreal have always provided a place for social interaction and support that promotes healthy living;
- Shutting down, even partially, activities at the Guy-Favreau, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Pointe-Saint-Charles YMCAs will affect the quality of life of people who live mostly in disadvantaged neighbourhoods;
- Recent research shows the importance of physical activity and social interaction to maintaining good physical and mental health; and
- The social and health costs of this shutdown could be high and are avoidable.
