CHAIR AND CEO MESSAGE Our 99th year of service to our community was the best ever for our YMCA. We served 65,000 individuals, towards our 2010 goal of 90,000. We had our best summer day camp program with over 6,000 camper weeks. We had nearly 100% occupancy in our 106 room housing program. We maintained an average of registered members of over 20,000 and served another average of 5,000 in general access in our family centres. We had our first full year of the service delivery component of Families First Edmonton research project. We completed the Straight from the Heart Capital Campaign, raising $10.2 million, the most ever raised by our YMCA in a community campaign. The construction of the Don Wheaton Family YMCA continued as the underground parkade was completed and the above ground structure began to be visible. The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign raised $454,000 the most ever raised. Our Centennial Celebration Committee co-chaired by Ed Cook and Bill Rees worked in earnest as they finalized the plans for the YMCA’s 2007 centenary. A whole range of events and activities are being implemented as this annual report is prepared. We honor the contributions of the thousands of people who have served as YMCA volunteers and staff over the past 100 years. It was their leadership and commitment that ensured ongoing renewal and relevance for the YMCA of Edmonton. Their labours are recorded in a book that will be published and released in April 2007. It is our privilege to continue to build on this dynamic legacy of personal development in spirit, mind and body for all in the community regardless of circumstance. Everyone is welcome to the YMCA. As we reflect over the past year, we are grateful for the support of our board and staff leadership team, the hundreds of volunteers, numerous community partners, donors and the tens of thousands of men, women and children who chose YMCA services. We invite you to actively participate in the centennial celebrations over 2007. May these celebrations honoring the achievements of the past century re-energize and reaffirm our commitment for the next 100 years. Sincerely, Wanda Wetterberg, Chair, Board of Directors Franco Savoia, President and CEO 2 0 0 6 Y M C A O F E D M O N T O N A N N U A L R E P O R T
