Lindsey’s Y StoryMeet Lindsey, a fitness instructor volunteer at Centre Branch YMCA!

I’m Courtney, I’m 34 years old and I’m a mother of three. I’ve been a member since February 2012. Back at the end of September 2016, I went on a weight loss journey. Between then and the summer of 2017 I had naturally lost over 100 pounds after working out and making healthier food choices.

On March 28, YMCA of Chatham-Kent’s Volunteer Community Campaign Chair, Jim Loyer, announced the organization’s 2024 campaign goal of $100,000. Two leadership gifts were also presented to kick-off the campaign - $15,000 from TekSavvy Solutions Inc. and $5,000 from Waste Connections of Canada.

The WE Value Partnership is preparing to start a new chapter in April after over a 6-year journey piloting innovative client, community, and settlement agency tools. The team is celebrating their collective achievements and future innovations at their upcoming Community Data Sharing & Consultation events, and Final Forum as well as with project completion reports and technology updates.

The challenges are a combination of savvy and smarts – no goofy shorts required. On Saturday, May 25, teams compete to complete the challenges in the fastest time. Everyone gathers together at the start to register before heading out to different locations, and only after they have completed the first challenge are they given the location of the next one.
