Facility Improvements at the YMCA

We’re excited to share that, as part of a City-led capital project, major roof renovations will begin at our Health, Fitness & Aquatics facility starting July 21, with set-up and mobilization taking place the week of July 14.

This 6–8 week project includes roof drain upgrades and skylight replacements to ensure a safe, efficient, and welcoming environment for all.

About the Project
The City of Owen Sound has awarded a contract to Spinton Roofing Ltd. to replace 40,000 sq ft of roofing, including insulation, and install a new membrane that is expected to last 20 years. This investment addresses long-standing leaks and helps protect the future of this community facility.

What to Expect

  • Construction Hours: Monday to Saturday, 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM (weather dependent)
  • Pool & Gymnasium Programming: Roof drain work planned for late July may affect programming. We’ll share updates as we receive them and aim to keep at least one pool open where possible.
  • Temporary Access: During skylight replacement in the North-South Corridor (dates TBD), YMCA access will shift to the emergency exit on the north side of the building near the gymnasium (Day Camp drop-off area). Signage will guide you.
  • Minimizing Disruption: We’re working closely with the contractor and the City to limit the impact on your YMCA experience as much as possible.

We’ll continue to post updates on our website as the project progresses.

Thank you for your patience and support as we partner with the City of Owen Sound to enhance your YMCA experience!
