Windsor YMCA moving downtown locations

The YMCA is moving its learning and career centre to the University of Windsor's downtown facility on Ouellette Avenue.

Around 23,000 square feet of the ground floor of 300 Ouellette Avenue will be renovated for classrooms, childcare facilities, and meeting spaces.

"The main things you'll see when you come to this centre will be learning and career activities," said Andrew Lockie, CEO for YMCA of Southwestern Ontario. "There will be classrooms, so a lot of language training to learn English if your a newcomer to Canada."

Services will move to the new space at the university's downtown building in September 2025.

"This physical location at 300 Ouellette Avenue is going to be the starting point for what I know will be many really impactful opportunities for our community but also for our students and certainly how we can really integrate and solve problems for the region," said Robert Gordon, president of the University of Windsor.

The YMCA's Victoria Avenue location has already been sold privately. Services will stay at the current location until the move in the fall.
